Photo Number 1671

For the next week or so we will look at some Mystery Real Photo Postcards.  Some of them are real mysteries and others I know where they were taken.  This one is from the Flea Market in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
Mystery One
A car and some cottages. The smoke might becoming out of a central bath house or sauna.  I do know where this one is from…can you guess?

    1. My Dad thinks this a 1940 Chrysler Saratoga - it had the "ugly" radiator and the "suicide doors".

  4. The Sunny Shores Resort looked a lot like this with cabins along the lake and trailers in the back. When I sold my one cabin to the late wife's sisters they tore it down and built a new one. Now people have replaced their cabins with double wide trailers and it looks like a mess. Our cabin had been a building that had been brought over on the ice and then added on to.
