If you're one of those people who remember when you could mail a postcard for one penny, then you'll need to take a look at the display case outside the Bullis Room.
(And even if you can't remember back that far, we think you'll enjoy spending a few minutes at the same place.)
The postcards displayed there were ones sent to Nettie Bullis from friends who were vacationing in: New York state; New York City; Boston, Massachusetts; and Canada. Most of them have very short messages, the "wish you were here" kind. All of them have beautiful photography on sturdy matte paper that seems to be just a cut above most contemporary postcards.
So please add "stop by MPL and look at Bullis postcard display" on your to-do list. They are a reminder of what we miss out on today, with text messages and selfies.
