Atlantic City Auditorium and Convention Hall, NJ

"Its still the same old Atlantic City" someone tells a friend via this postcard in 1934.

This is just a beautiful old postcard, sent from Newark, NJ in 1909.  I will likely frame this one.

Largest Convention Hall and Theatre in the World, Atlantic City, NJ.

This old postcard is undated on the back.

On the front it says- Largest Convention Hall and Theatre in the World, Atlantic City, N.J.

The back notes-

All of Atlantic City's population, 66,000, could be seated in this building at one time in the auditorium. The largest home run Babe Ruth ever hit would stay inside the walls. Football is played on a full sized field indoors, and the building is indeed the Convention Capitol of the world.

Blairstown, NJ Postcard

I think a lot of people who travel certain roads multiple times start to develop certain affections for random cities they pass through over and over.

I feel that way about Blairstown New Jersey. We stop there when we drive up to Maine.

As you probably know, I am a fan of horror films, and Blairstown appears a lot in the first Friday the 13th film. In fact, the main street in this postcard is in the first few minutes of the movie.

We stopped in Blairstown the first time because of its connection to a movie that frightened me mercilessly as a child, and they had a minor league baseball team near by! Well, that ball team is gone and the movie connection to us these days is not as big of a deal, but we still stop in Blairstown when we can!
