I like those early 1960's autos parked at the restaurant,

I think the place has changed hands.  It is called Harley Jack's Burgers and Brews, now.

Thank you dear Spookcat.  I was too tired to decipher the postcard last night.  I can always rely on you.  Thanks again.

I took part in last week's postcard auction and walked away from it with 41 new (or old, rather) postcards.  I stuck to my guns and bid extra high on a number of interesting postcards, like one that shows a MLB field during a game back in the 1950's.  Of course, there are always some that I get outbid on, like these three postcards:

Folks Are Real Friendly Here in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The guy on the right seems very comfortable spreading his legs and presenting his junk to the other man.
This is how Art Bell lived in the 70's.

I actually have a similar type postcard to the one shown above, but as I recall, it doesn't state where the people are 'real friendly' at.  Also, I'm not sure if the characters in the tub are the same as those shown above.  I'd be more than happy to dig it up if you would like to see it, Bart.

Ahhh yes, here it is, Bart. There are still four people in the tub and they appear to be the same people, just drawn a little differently.  The words for this card are printed and not done up in cursive.  Perhaps the most glaring difference is that there is no destination given as to where it is that the people are friendly at.

This postcard was printed at an outfit in Canyonville, Oregon so perhaps that's where the 'friendliness' takes place.

I would argue it is the fact that the one guy shaved his legs!

This colorful ham/CB radio QSL card is from Iowa.  There is nothing on the other side, though.  Totally blank.
