Flood Coin 1 (Louisiana Quarter)
Katrina's flood water was extraordinarily corrosive. When we moved into our place on Olympia St. in Janurary of 2006, the laundromat in the neighborhood had a sign up: "No Flood Coins." This is what those unwanted coins would have looked like.

Postcard 48: Postmark Jan 15 1943 Ocala Fl.
Ocala, a city of 10,000, offers a shopping
district of sufficient assortment and quality
as to meet the requirements of the most dis-
criminating. Magnolia Street, as shown, covers
only part of the down-town business section.
.
This is Ocala. About
10 min. walk to cover
business section. It
is pretty here but
cold as the dickens.
Say hello to all for
me. How I wish
you could see all
this......Catherine

Postcard 47: Leather Postcard, Undated, Circa 1965
We saw the girls doing
this leather work. We
have seen them
making mantillas of
lace and tablecloths.
Today we saw acres of
red peppers drying in
the sun, most in racks
but a great many on
the ground. Man turns
them over with a wooden
pitch fork. Everyone here rides
a burro.........Love Florence
