Once upon a time

Postcards from the past - The street scene on the postcard of Washington Street looking north from First Street was taken around 1935. The postcard was mailed on Aug. 7, 1940, at 3:30 p.m. from "Gramps" to Miss Dorothy Richmond, who must have been visiting a camp or friends in Benzie County, Michigan. The good news is Gramps said if she ran out of money, she should telegraph him. (Hinsdale Historical Society photo)
