Mary L. Martin Postcards — the “world’s largest” postcard collection — fills the back of a Havre de Grace shop and an additional 10,000-square-foot warehouse a few miles north on U.S. 40 in Perryville.
The exact number of cards in the collection is secret, Martin says, but it’s more than a million. And, within that million there are several vintage postcards from tourist spots across U.S. 40.
Browse some vintage postcards of past hotels, restaurants and attractions on U.S. Route 40 in Maryland here.

Brazil defeated Chile in the first match of the Round of 16 in a nail-biting penalty shootout. Colombia followed by defeating Uruguay 2-0, giving the country their first trip to the quarter finals.
