Holiday Lodge

Then:Now called "Holiday Motel", and featuring a trampoline.

Hotel remains north of Rocky Mount Hwy 301

I hope to find a postcard of this someday


The Huntington Motel Coral Room Restaraunt

Then:Now the "Deluxe Inn and Taqueria Zapopan #II". I was happy to see the building and sign still standing.




Deltiology

Deltiology (from Greek δελτίον, deltion, diminutive of δέλτος, deltos, "writing tablet, letter"; and -λογία,-logia) is the study and collection of postcards.

Deltiologists, as postcard collectors are called, collect for a variety of reasons. Some are attracted to the postcards themselves, then narrow down their interests.
