Hotel Taft


This was sent to my grandparents on their anniversary, from my great uncle. At the time, he was staying at the Taft Hotel in New York, so he sent them this postcard as well!


On the back it says: Times Square's Largest Hotel, 2,000 rooms with new "Direct Reception" radio, servidor, circulating ice water, in each room. Adjacent to Radio City, 100 theatres, retail and wholesale districts. Grand Central and Pennsylvania R.R. Stations 5 minutes by taxi. B&O Motor Coach connection at door. I.R.T, B.M.T, 6th Ave and 8th Ave, Subway stations, Capitol Bus Terminal, just around the corner.
Going up the side it says in bold letters: And now... television in many guest rooms.

From Eric

Well it's been a few weeks since I've updated.. I've been really busy with school! These postcards are from my boyfriend, Eric :)

This is the first postcard he ever got me. I think this one is from four-ish years ago? He bought this when he was on vacation with his family in Rhode Island. I've always really liked this one!


This one is from three years ago. This was the first year that I went on vacation with his family, and the summer before I started college. On the front, there is the Block Island Ferry. The passage says: "Block Island is reached by ferryboat from Point Judith & Providence, Rhode Island and New London, Connecticut".


Eric attached this one to my Christmas presents this year :) It's from Kent Falls State Park, in CT. I'm really excited to go! The passage says: "Kent Falls State Park, scenic roadside parkland and picnic area along side Housatonic River". The water fall there is supposed to be really pretty, so I can't wait to take some photos!


This is another one I got for Christmas this year. It's from Captain's Cove Seaport in Bridgeport, Connecticut. I've never been there, but it looks pretty!
