“This unique bridge spans Reedy River Falls in the west end of downtown Greenville, SC. It’s 355 feet long and 12 feet wide.” We visited this bridge a while back, so I was happy to pick up this postcard while in Columbia recently.
“The Best Friend of Charleston, the first American-built locomotive to make regular freight and passenger runs, first chugged out of Charleston on Christmas Day, 1830. Its top speed was 30 miles an hour. In 1831, the engine was destroyed when an inexperienced crewman closed a safety valve and the boiler exploded. This reproduction was made from the original blueprints.” You can climb into the back train … the kids HAD to do it, of course! 🙂
My sister Jessica visited Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon in the fall — and she brought me back a swarm of postcards! This is my absolute favorite, an art card showing a bird’s eye view of Vegas!
A view from Bright Angel Point. The card says that on a quiet day, you can hear the sound of the Roaring Springs some 3,500 feet below!
Nellis AFB is in Las Vegas, too. Saw the Thunderbirds once at the annual MacDill AFB in Tampa!
Nice view showing the Colorado River and Lake Mead
My sister also visited Hoover Dam. I like this card because it shows that the Dam acts as a border between Nevada and Arizona … something I hadn’t known before 🙂
