Gloucester City has a new postcard which was designed by local artist Earl Nazar. The cost to produce and print the postcard was funded by the Gloucester City Urban Enterprise Zone.
Using the theme " Gloucester City Old and New", Nazar drawings depict the original City Municipal Building, fishermen hauling in nets full with shad, Billy "The Duke of Gloucester" Thompson's Mansion with the Immigration Station attached to it.
Also depicted is one of the City benches that were painted in 1976 to celebrate the Nation's Bi-Centennial, the Walt Whitman Bridge, and the modern day Gloucester City Library.
Residents can obtain two free postcards at the Municipal Building, at 512 Monmouth Street.
