About this postcard

An elevated view looks down over the long rows of shuffleboard courts laid out beside Mirror Lake in St. Petersburg, Florida, with red-and-white striped shelters, palms and shrubbery, parked automobiles, and an American flag at the left. The caption names the scene and bills St. Petersburg as "The Sunshine City." Mirror Lake Park, in the heart of downtown, was a center of the city's nationally famous shuffleboard culture, which drew thousands of winter visitors each season from the 1920s onward.
