dc.description	Postcard showing Maple Street (now Capital Avenue Northeast) looking at the house on the south west corner of the intersection of Maple and Chestnut Streets (243 Maple Street). Note interurban car on left of photo. Interurbans were electric light railroads which connected all of the major cities in Michigan from the 1890's into the 1930's when they were phased out due to increased use of automobiles. In the countryside the electric cars were powered by a third rail system and in the cities generally by overhead electric wires. Caption on front: Maple St. Battle Creek, Mich. Written on back: I supposed you are living the busy life like me. Hope you will enjoy every "1" at the Lake wish I could join you to see you swim it is such fun. Your Aunt Violet. Sent to: Miss. Nina Mills 1112 Liberty St. Flint, Michigan. Sent on: August 16, 1911	en_US
