The Blue Room, Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans, Louisana ~ No publisher given but I'm thinking E. C. Kropp, Milwaukee. Card is unused and undated, I'm guessing 1930s. Production number 79510. Light edge wear and signs of age to the back, VG+.

Rock City is a roadside attraction near Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Lookout Mountain in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, located near Ruby Falls. It is well-known for the many barns throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States that have the slogan "See Rock City" painted on their roofs and sides. John Garnet Carter, entrepreneur and the inventor of miniature golf, intended to develop a residential community on Lookout Mountain to be named Fairyland. His wife, Frieda Carter, set out to develop the property into one big rock garden, taking string and marking a trail that wound its way around the giant rock formations, ending up at Lover's Leap. She also planted wildflowers and other plants along her trails. She imported German gnome statues and other famous fairytale characters, set up at spots throughout the trail. Garnet Carter realized that his wife had made an attraction that many people would be willing to pay for, and they made Rock City a public attraction in 1932.

Click on my graphic to enlarge it greatly but, if you do, remember that magnified defects appear to be much worse than they actually are and my scanner glass may not have been entirely clean. All of the postcards I sell on eBay are genuine vintage originals unless specified otherwise. I try to describe their condition to the best of my ability but please study my scan before bidding. Cards often have a previous dealer's price written on the back in pencil. I do not consider this a defect. All of my cards are duplicates or unwanted material from my own collection. I have collected cards for over 40 years and have a heck of a lot of unwanted and duplicate material. Check my eBay store in the postal history category for postcards that are more valuable as philatelic objects.
