The picture shows a wide wooden boardwalk in Atlantic City, with a yellow open-sided tram carrying passengers past souvenir shops, Sarantini's Pizza, and a rifle range; crowds stroll and sit on rolling chairs along the rail. The Atlantic City Boardwalk, opened in 1870, was the first boardwalk in the United States and became the resort's main promenade, lined with shops, amusements, and hotels. The scene's chrome color and mid-century signage suggest a postcard from the 1950s or early 1960s.
Chrome-era color; no printed caption on front.
Unused, no postmark. Divided-back chrome-era Curt Teich card (3DK-1315), glossy full-bleed front, no white border; clean, no damage.
