No, I’m not referencing Maya’s always engaging web log of the same name, although I’m sure she’s done this before. I’m speaking of a search on eBay for postcards from Sacramento. Have you done this? If not, give it a shot. What a nice little stroll down Sacramentocana Lane it is.

For example, check out this 1950’s shot of Sutter’s Fort. Or this great 1932 shot of the lake at McKinley Park. Look closely, no toxic green stuff to be found! Ah, the good ole’ days. How about Sacramento’s “busy” K Street postcard from the 40’s? I could go on and on.

I am no Sacramento historian, but the more I learn about this town the more I’m glad I live here.
