Why Have a Postcard Project?

September 18, 2014 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Cork Board

Why Postcards? 1. We love snail mail. Because of the internet, it has becomes so much easier, and faster (perhaps, even more reliable) to communicate with the world. Email and private (or even public) messages just take minutes to get to your inbox. Even bills and bank statements can be sent to your email address. […]

Casa Moderna

Moderna Bakery (now Casa Moderna) opened its doors to the Naguenos more than 65 years ago.
