Colored linen postcards were quite popular during the 1940s. This particular one caught my interest. There is no place in Susanville that looks like the scene depicted. Every now and then, especially of years by gone, the names of Sunnyvale and Susanville get mixed up. Whether this is a scene in Sunnyvale, I do not know as I have never been to that Bay area community. Then again, the company that made this postcard may have had a standard image that was applied to many communities.

P.S. – I am aware that spring was yesterday, the earliest in 124 years. However, I had obligation for yesterday’s post.
The tall evergreens in the back would pretty much leave out Sunnyvale as the location. !!
I agree! Looks more like the Susan River to me!
I can remember a middle-school teacher saying Susanville and Sunnyvale addresses sometimes got each other’s mail. Then, when I lived in Los Altos and Mountain View, bordering Sunnyvale, for a few years back in the day, people did indeed confuse them more than once.
