 The Postcard Accumulator: Act I, Scene II Here are some more postcards that appear in The Accumulator, Volume 1, Number 4.  This is the Sea Food Platter at the Ideal Fish Restaurant in Santa Cruz, California.   Everything you need to know is right there! While this is a great card, the identity of the sender makes it a little more special. Can you figure out who it is?       This is Noah's Ark Steakhouse in Diamond Point Minnesota.  Bernstein's Fish Grotto 1907 to 1981. I don't have any information about this one. It was sent from Burien, Washington, so I am assuming it is somewhere in Washington, but there was no information on the reverse of the card.

 The Postcard Accumulator Act I, Scene I.   This blog is intended as an accompaniment to my newsletter "THE ACCUMULATOR".  These are images of postcards that aren't well served by the inkjet reproduction used in the newsletter. My current thought is that this will include the color versions of the postcards shown in the newsletter as well as others that simply cannot tolerate the inkjet reproduction in any way. In the most recent issue (Volume 1, Number 4) I mention the restaurant below. You can now understand why I didn't even BOTHER including the  grayscale image in that issue. This is the fabulous Martinique Restaurant & Drury Lane Theatre, Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, it was leveled in the early part of the century to make room for...a Walmart. The postcard refers to this room as "America's Most Beautiful Theatre Restaurant".   Feel free to comment via postcard to:  Boxholder, Post Office Box 2632, Bellingham, Washington, 98227-26...
