About this postcard

Looking down Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, the view is lined with multi-story commercial blocks, awnings, and storefront signs. Automobiles of the 1950s and a delivery truck share the roadway with pedestrians. Moody Street served as Waltham's downtown shopping district in a city long associated with watchmaking and textile manufacturing. On the back, Rena mentions a grocery store within ten minutes and asks after Minnie's blood pressure, adding a wry note about not keeping her own doctor's appointment.
