One of the crafting forums I frequent recently posteDown town Nampad this link

It has many of our country's penny postcards listed on the site

Go and check out some great history...

Click on your state and county!  

I was amazed that over all....not counting what the cars on the street looked like...

My downtown Nampa looks almost the same

Kudos to the business owners who have renovated and restored many of the buildings to their original look!  

No more fake facades...

I am posting a picture of the same down town streets today in

Nampa Idaho

I found it interesting....I hope you do too!!!

Deborah,

 Cool post and I love it when downtown's restore and rejuvenate. It provides so much more character to the town and preserves important history. Happy Saturday to you. :)

Hi Deborah -

I really like the links.  I did a quick look and have bookmarked so I can take a better look later.  When people come to Albuquerque the first place they head is Old Town.  Kept as it was back in the day and Route 66 is a huge hit as well due to the history, look and feel it offers.  Great post!

Enjoy all you do and best regards from the Q

Hi Deborah!  I love regenerating and invigorating older communities. It's a great way to retain history and build the future simultaneously.

Deborah - I'm actuall amazed at how different Newport Beach and Costa Mesa look many years ago.  It's almost unrecognizable.
