Postmark Ashville, NC / Frederick Law Olmsted was careful to introduce a park-like element to Biltmore�s Landscape. This western view of Biltmore House showcases Olmsted�s ability to combine a residential home of such magnitude with the quiet beauty of a park and lagoon.
DEAR LIZ, GREETINGS FROM THE �ROAD.� I DIDN�T GET TO SEE THE MANSION BECAUSE THEY CHARGE $36 ADMISSION! I�LL JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY FEATURE IT ON �MTV CRIBS.� I�LL VISIT YOU SOMETIME OR MAYBE JUST MOVE TO NYC ALTHOUGH IT�S NOT AS APPEALING WITHOUT A RED TERROR ALERT. CIAO!

DEAR LIZ, I GOT TO �DOLLYWOOD� THE DAY BEFORE IT OPENED FOR THE SEASON. I�LL HAVE TO COME BACK LATER TO FIND OUT IF THEY SERVE BREAST IMPLANT BURGERS AT THE SNACK SHOPS. OH MY GAWWWD! MY BRAIN FRIED IN THE TENNESSEE HEAT & I HAVEN�T �DISCOVERED MYSELF� YET LIKE STEINBECK.
Postmark Evansville, IN / Kentucky Dam is a 20-story, 8,422-foot-long structure that impounds the Tennessee River making Kentucky Lake.
DEAR LIZ, DAMN! KENTUCKY DAM! DAM! DAMN! GODDAMN IT! I DON�T KNOW WHERE THIS DAM IS, I JUST GOT THIS POSTCARD BECAUSE IT WAS THE STUPIDEST LOOKING AVAILABLE AT THE REST STOP I�M SLEEPING IN FRONT OF ON THE �WESTERN KENTUCKY PARKWAY.� CIAO! PS. I HOPE YOU LIKE POSTCARDS!!!
Postmark Evansville, IN / Dedicated to the Indiana men killed in action during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, this memorial includes a 450 seat auditorium and a military museum. University Square, with its cascading fountain (background) and Obelisk Square (foreground) provide a lovely resting spot in mid-town Indianapolis.
DEAR LIZ, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE KENTUCKY POSTCARD HAS AN INDIANA POSTMARK. FOR SOME REASON IT�S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND STAMPS FOR SALE AT 5AM IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THE CLERK AT DUMBASS SUPERMARKET SAID THEY CAN�T SELL STAMPS AFTER 9 OR SOMETHING EQUALLY DUMBASS. GODDAMN IT THAT�S WHAT�S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY. NO! I WON�T STOP WRITING! THIS SPACE IS NOT RESERVED FOR US POSTAL SERVICE ! KI(illegible) ASS ! I HATE THE MID-WEST! I HATE ALL OF YOU! JUST BECAUSE I DON�T HAVE LETTERMAN TEETH DOESN�T MEAN YOU DON�T HAVE TO KISS MY ASS!
Postmark Saint Louis, MO / The great St. Louis Arch frames the Old Courthouse along the river in downtown.
DEAR LIZ, IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER SINCE I WROTE TO YOU! ST. LOUIS IS VERY NICE AND FUTURISTIC LOOKING. I�M FEELING LESS PSYCHOTIC SINCE I STAYED IN AN ACTUAL HOTEL LAST NIGHT. SO FAR MY ROAD TRIP HAS BEEN A FAILURE FOR MY PRIMARY GOAL OF �FINDING MYSELF.� I DIDN�T EVEN FIND NELLY. MAYBE I�M SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND WHEN I�M BACK IN WALDORF WASHING DISHES AT IHOP. WELL, I�M OUT OF ROOM AGAIN, GAY POSTCARD. CIAO!

DEAR LIZ, GREETINGS FROM THE �WINDY CITY� WOAH HOHO! IT�S REALLY WINDY RIGHT NOW! WHO WOULD�VE THUNK IT?! I WENT TO THE TOP OF THE SEARS TOWER BUT I COULDN�T DISCERN WHERE THE PROJECTS WERE. I THOUGHT IF I JUST LOOKED SOUTH I�D SEE J.J. EVANS APARTMENT. THE ONLY OTHER LANDMARK I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS THE BRIDGE THEY RIDE BICYCLES OVER ON THE OPENING OF �FAMILY MATTERS.� I FOUND THAT OK.
Postmark Columbus, OH / The scenic skyline of Ohio�s capital city.
DEAR LIZ, I DROVE DOWN THROUGH INDIANA LAST NIGHT AND I�M NOW HEADING �HOME.� I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO GO FARTHER WEST BUT MY �ROADTRIP� WAS ALOTTED 1 WEEK MAX. IF SOMEONE HAD EVER TOLD ME I�D ONE DAY BE EATING BREAKFAST AT A COLUMBUS WENDY�S I WOULDN�T HAVE BELIEVED THEM AND I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SLAPPED THEM. I DON�T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. THIS IS MY LAST POSTCARD.
