The Mall,Tralee
Postcard photograph of Tralee town centre posted to the USA in 1958.The sender describes the town as a "nice little place"and refers to the song The Rose of Tralee which he describes as wonderful.

An unusual feature of this postcard is the almost clear blue sky which is very rarely found in Tralee.
