Dick Kollmar's Paris in the Sky
If you went to East Orange now, you'd ask yourself, "How could this be?" But it had in a past era a sort-of hotel resort section. Some of those hotels catered to a Jewish clientele. That scene very quickly disappeared during the 1950's. Dick Kollmar was probably Richard Kollmar, husband of newspaper columnist & "What's My Line?" panelist Dorothy Kilgallen, with whom he had co-hosted a morning radio program, "Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick." It's a good guess because Kollmar had also owned a New York City nightclub.
Dorothy Kilgallen was one of number of notable people who died mysteriously in the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination. Her death in 1965 was ruled a barbiturate & alcohol suicide, but all her notes on her interview with Lee Harvey Oswald assassin Jack Ruby were missing from her apartment.

Anheuser-Busch Brewery (Budweiser)
The really strange thing about this postcard, the entire city of Newark is gone, replaced by green fields & trees. The brewery is visible from Amtrak trains, U.S. Route One, & on flights into Liberty Newark Airport.
