Although not a cover, I found this postcard in my collection "Washington Islanders". Not to be confused with Washington Island in Wisconsin and the Washington Islanders baseball team. Teraina, also known as Washington Island (both names are constitutional), is a coral atoll in the central Pacific Ocean, part of the Northern Line Islands belonging to Kiribati. The island has an area of 7.8 km˛ (3 mi˛), and the population in 1990 was 936 (more than 1,000 in 2000). Posting is not exactly to topic but, it is Washington Island.  |

I can't find a canceled example but there is a Miami, Manitoba in Canada. If you've ever been to Manitoba in winter, you quickly realize it is NOT like Miami, Florida lol  |

Why go to Florida when you can go to Miami, Texas? How about going to Lexington? Not Kentucky, but Texas? Fruitland sounds like a nice place to go.  |

So many far off destinations named here, but have you ever taken a woman to Paradise? I have, Paradise, MO; Paradise,NV; and Paradise, CA but that one is not much of a paradise after it's devastating 2018 Camp Fire. Paradise may exist in other locations in the USA, but those are the only three I've reached. The Camp Fire obliteration Paradise, CA and other small towns, displacing 50,000 folks, destroying over 18,000 structures, post offices too, and ending the life of 85 individuals. Right now it, Paradise and its people are more like a Phoenix on the way back to being Paradise.   |

How about going to Atlanta, not Georgia, but Texas. Or perhaps, Berlin, not Germany, but Texas. Or perhaps straight to Venus, Texas.  |
