From 1944, as the expiry date shows. See Seven States! If your eyes are good, you can see the back of your head, clear around the world!
Glade Spring VA
To me, this is an interesting post card. It was published by Asheville Post Card Company in the late 40s and it doesn’t feature original photographs taken by the company. These are historic black & white photos that were colored in before printing. No photographer is credited. I suppose that the pharmacy provided the photos to APCC to use.
Town Creek
Downtown Abingdon VA. The house behind the trees was for sale the day I was there. Great location. Price would probably make my eyes water. Abingdon’s trendy these days.
Flea Market Find!
Sort of..
I call it an “8-bit Dragon”. Bamboo beads. 6.5 x 7″.
It’s a hot pad. It’s called a trivet. In my vocabulary, a trivet is generally metal and has three legs.
A rose by any other name is a trivet.
I have two of them. Sigh.

Other than the original photos being taken from different viewpoints (or using different lenses), there are four differences between these two cards:
The lower one, obviously, is the earlier. I think it may have been taken pre-WWII. The upper one, probably late 40s.
The differences I see: First, the plate numbers are different (I can only date Asheville Post Card Company cards by inference. I found another card in the E-7417 range that had a 1948 post mark). Second, the shrubbery. Third, the sign on the corner in front of the church. Fourth, the early one is titled merely “JC-71 Methodist Church, Johnson City, Tenn.” and the later one is “JC-75 First Methodist Church, Johnson City, Tenn.”
