Description
This vintage postcard depicts a charming Des Plaines, Illinois street scene, featuring parked cars, leafy trees, and a quaint brick Northwestern Depot. Looking west along Miner Street, the muted colors of browns, greens, and blues evoke a nostalgic atmosphere. This lovely postcard from the 1970s (assuming the zip code is fairly recent) shows a peaceful moment in time.

Hi Daddy,
Hope you are fine. The weather is cool but is warming up. They fear it is constantly again. Damn it, here's our train.
