Well, we're into summertime now – so it's time for this blog to head out to Vacationland for a while. First stop: Vermilion (my home). How about a tour of the city via vintage postcards?
Like many cities (including
Lorain), Vermilion has had several “Greetings From...” postcard designs.
Driving into Vermilion, a visitor is treated to several iconic structures that quite naturally have been captured by photographers for decades.
The U.S. Route 6 bridge over the Vermilion River has long been the subject of postcards.

The iconic Vermilion water tower (or "water sphere”) has also made it onto a few cards.

| This postcard was postmarked 1941. |
