St. Paul, Hamm’s Memorial Falls
Unused Plastichrome card P78985 (M-158) of these falls, built in Como Park in 1966 and symbolizing the Hamm Brewing Company heritage: “Land of the Sky Blue Waters”. We grew up on that, if not exactly on the beer. You need to squint a little to see the falls, but they’re there. Grade: 1
-
Rochester State Hospital
This card was mailed in 1914 (stamp is there, and partial postmarks) by a person who was apparently there for an operation. We are mildly confused as to whether this facility at that time was for persons with mental issues, or instead (or in addition) functioned as a general hospital. The writer seemed just fine in her message. Grade: 2
-
Duluth, Aerial Bridge

Foreign Ships Arrive in Duluth-Superior Harbor – 1959
We put this card into “Minnesota” and not “Wisconsin” only because the harbor says “Duluth” first. Not postally used, the card however has an inked notation on the back saying “The Duluth-Superior Light house on pier but not mentioned.” Well … we sure do know that now. Grade: 4
-

Crookston, Sunnyrest Sanitorium
Indulge us here. We have all manner of mixed feelings about Crookston, none of which have to do with this facility that cared for tuberculosis patients from 1916 until 1967. (If you really want to know why we are Conflicted about Crookston, ask us!) The linen card was not postally mailed but has a message written into the message area. Grade: 4
