This is the type of card you would expect from Arizona: desert cactus silhouetted by a desert sundown. The sender lives in Chandler, which is a part of the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler Metropolitan Statistical Area. Chandler proper has 280 000 people. It is named after Dr. Alexander John Chandler, who was the first veterinarian surgeon the Arizona Territory. By 1900 he had acquired about 73 square kilometers of land and began drawing up plans for a townsite. When the town was incorporated, Dr. Chandler became the first mayor.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
