Postcard - Aberdeen, Washington

"This telephoto view from Belaire Hill shows the Downtown Shopping Center and on the left the Modern New Bridge spanning the Chehalis River."

To help date this, the "Modern New Bridge" was built in 1955.

Somewhere in about the very middle of this postcard stood Eaton's Bookstall, where I bought most of my underground comix 40+ years ago and also met cartoonist John Workman before he moved to New York City. Eaton's was also one of the few places where you could buy my first pre-Newave comic, Gimmie Comics # 1. The building where Eaton's stood is long gone.
