[edit] Postcard of "The Boulevard in 1910" not accurate
This postcard is in fact a picture of Lynn. Today, this stretch of shorefront is called Lynn Shore Drive. This scene depicts the beach-front side of what is called the "Diamond District" of Lynn - where many of Lynn's financial elite lived - nearby to thier downtown factories.
The town boarder with Swampscott is about 1 mile in the distance from the point of reference in this picture - completely out of view. Real postcard or not, this is not a picture of Swampscott and should be removed from this article.
I am a resident of Swampscott and I live along this shared shoreline. --Mespinola (talk) 19:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
