Past Post: Third And Pike 1947

October 22nd, 2008 @ 1:34 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Post |

It was 1947 and Rosina was moving. So she mailed Mrs Smith from Phillipsburg, NJ a postcard showing Third and Pike. She didn’t have a whole lot to say, mostly smalltalk, the weather, etc. On the right you can see the old F.W. Woolworth Building (now Ross). Click on the postcard thumbnail for the full version.

Hello Dear, Am moving so please write me address below. Weather still lovely. Warm days & cool nights. Hope you are well and doing allright these days. Write soon — Regards — Rosina Patricelli, 1112 Yakima Ave., Seattle, 44, Wn.

Third Avenue and Pike, Seattle, Wash. 2B-H347.

Postcard sent to Mrs. Rodge L. Smith of Phillipsburg, NJ August 21, 1947.

   A Kress and a Woolworth both for good measure. You don’t see alot of photos of Kress. Also, love the forties cars! If this were in black and white it would be the beginning of a good film noir.
