Tampa postcards, printed and mailed

Tampa is the Gulf coast city people fly into and then drive out of, and the design is about that drive. It is a bridge over water.

What the Tampa designs show

A cable-stayed bridge crossing the bay, drawn in red engraving with the cables fanning from two towers, palms clustered on the near bank and a flat gold sun in the top right corner.

It is a card about leaving a city in the best possible mood, which is a more accurate picture of Tampa Bay than a downtown skyline would be.

When people send one

Winter and early spring, the baseball training weeks, and the cruise season — a lot of ships leave from here, and the day before boarding is when people write cards.

Tampa is also the airport for a long stretch of Gulf coast beaches, so a fair number of the cards posted from here are really from somewhere an hour south with no post office worth finding.

Or use your own Tampa photo

A beach on the Gulf side, a cigar shop in Ybor, a heron standing in a car park. Florida wildlife turns up in the most ordinary places and it always makes the better front.

Frequently asked questions

Which other Florida cities have designs?
