Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"Romantic vantage point from Cliff Drive, shows in the distance of this downtown photograph, two major thoroughfares, North Monroe (center) and North Division (right). In the foreground, this time exposure reveals, from different colors from car lights, two one-way streets, Stevens (left) and Washington (right). Interestingly, the strong red from the tail-lights, indicates a common application of brakes on this down hill thoroughfare. With 4,000 rooms, Spokane provides comfortable headquarters for enjoyment of the Inland Empire."

Probably from the 1970s. This is one of the more surreal bits of postcard prose I have posted, and it describes one of my favorite cities, Old Spoogaloo.
