Hola ~ A number of you asked for a copy of this post card, circa 1946. The
scan is fantastic. Unfortunately, I am not sure if you will be able to open
it and print it.

If you have not received a private e-mail from me to this effect, please send
me a private e-mail about this. I can mail you (snail mail) an excellent
glossy scan. The building is a magnificent, Greek Revival style ediface, with
a 5 tier mega-stair case leading up to the main entrance. What I found
interesting is a trolley! A real live trolley going down a track in front
(you can tell I spent the first 9 formative years in Philadelphia). Behind
the trolley is something even more interesting. A truck of sorts that looks
older to me than 1946 when this postcard was sent. I expect it is about 1938
at least.

Let me know,
Mike Vigil
