Greetings from South Carolina
Unused, classic old large-letter postcard 16556 from Asheville Post Card Co. Maybe had it been of Iowa or Ohio they would have identified the photos, but South Carolina was too much of a challenge. Grade: 1

Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Square Mall
The Mall opened in 1975 and (per Wikipedia) was “the first enclosed shopping mall in Myrtle Beach”! Damned by faint praise, inevitably and inexorably something better came along and Myrtle Square was completely gone by 2006. Gone but not forgotten: here’s the unused postcard. Grade: 1

Columbia, Columbia Bible College
Curteich-Chicago linen card 3C-H592, mailed in 1952 with stamp and postmark and a long, effusive message. As for the school, it’s now Columbia International University, about which an (edited) Wikipedia entry says: “CIU began in 1923 when it was founded as Columbia Bible School. The original purpose was to provide a two-year course of study in biblical studies for local mill workers. By 1927, the decision was made to convert the school into a college and begin offering bachelor’s degrees in Bible. The college was relocated in 1960 to its present facility on Monticello Road. During this period, the institution also changed its name to Columbia Bible College and Seminary. The name was changed yet again in 1994 to Columbia International University.” (We don’t do this for every school!) Grade: 1
