A blog about things that I'm interested in and I'm interested in a lot of things (But the postcards took over).

Coronation of Tzar Nicolas II
This is a double postcard from the 1920s reproducing the menu from the coronation of the Tzar Nicolas II in 1896. What did they eat on such a grand occasion?

Meet me in Saint Louis, Louis
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the Fair
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there
We will dance the "Hoochie-Koochie"
I will be your "Tootsie-Wootsie"
If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the Fair.
I couldn’t leave this one out and yes, the song was written and the postcard produced for the 1904 World's Fair at St Louis.
