Friends & family,
 
     More for the benefit of those who now live out-of-town, I scanned into my computer an array of post cards about Youngstown, as it existed pre-1939. The pictures are really a nice snapshot of how things used to be. I have them scanned in high resolution, but I reduced them so you can view them below. Note the postage back then and also at Pioneer Pavilion in Mill Creek Park, see how the road crosses the creek with the old bridge. The introductory write-up is also interesting. A little bit of history preserved in an accordion-style postcard folder made in Chicago. It took me over three hours to assemble, scan and edit, so enjoy: -
