I know, I know – I did a [postcard ](/tag/postcard/)yesterday. They don’t really come in that often, but when they do I try to get them up right away before they disappear into Internet limbo.

No date is given on the card by [the eBay seller](http://cgi.ebay.com/MANHATTAN-BEACH-HOTEL-BEACH-SCENE-BROOKLYN-NY-/350385018477?ref=bklyner.com#ht%5F500wt%5F1154). However, there is this entirely useless description that I find amusing: “We specialize in BETTER cards from all five boroughs of NYC consisting of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, The Bronx and **those Long Island communities that constitute Queens County**.” *(emphasis added)*

Yeah, screw Queens.

A similar angle of the beach is given in this 1903 photograph, which we first showed you in the article about [Manhattan Beach’s history with fireworks](/manhattan-beach-once-exploded-like-vesuvius/) (and is original from a Daily News profile). You can see just how nitty-gritty that purty building in the background of the postcard *actually* looked.
