That Lover's Lane sounds like a pretty cool place to live.  http://loverslanesaintjo.com/

The whole city used to be nice. I spent some time there. Unfortunately now it's gone downhill.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.

Eugene Field's home (or one of them) is downtown in my area.   :D

Cool!  I always like it when an EllGabber has a direct or even an indirect connection with these old postcards.

Happy Labor Day!

And a happy one to you, too, RG!  I enjoy your posts so much.  I appreciate the time and effort it takes you to do all this work.  It's very relaxing to look back in time this way.  Makes me realize we're not so very different from those who lived before us.   :)

Happy Labor Day!

And I love the dog under the table, waiting for scraps.  Some things never change!  ;)

Thank you so much for the kind words.  I am always so very happy to discover that an EllGabber likes this postcard thread.  Yes, some things don't change.  That dog reminds me of my dogs!  LOL!

LOL "Some things never change" that's right they never do.

Recently had lunch at an all you can eat pizza buffet restaurant.

A woman escorted her comfort/companion dog up to the buffet table. I was amazed by the Dog's good manners, he waited until she had filled her plate with slices of pizza before snatching a slice for himself.

Ok, I am mollified. I was thinking I was going to get into a situation where one gets fake Cod, for example, with the what-I-thought was a generic 'white fish' labeling. I stand corrected. Sounds tasty.

Walleye, per K_Dubb comments, is very good also. As is other perch up there. By the way were those Chippewas involved in the "Walleye Wars" like there brethren sometimes called another name in Wisconsin

Fresh caught breaded and pan fried walleye shore lunch is absolute the best meal on the planet. Maybe the Universe?

I prefer fresh brook trout pan fried in butter with eggs.
Are we having fun yet?

At first I thought these were bottles of wine and champagne but on closer examination I see that they are specialty juices and syrups.

I'm particularly drawn to a flavor that isn't shown on the postcard.  Sour cherry syrup.  For some reason I would like to find a drink to mix that with.  I found some info on one of the Willenborgs: http://easthamptonstar.com/Obituaries/2017914/John-V-Willenborg-Longtime-Montauker
