Howdy there. Im in town for work, cleaning up after the hurricane. Whenever im on the road, I always send a post card home to my daughter. Im having a hard time finding anywhere in town that sells the things though.
Normally touristy places, or shops that specialize in local products have them but no luck so far. Do any of yall know off hand where i could track one down?

I think I’ve seen them in some of the truck stops and gas stations by the interstate. I’d start with the ones on exit 16.
The historical society museum downtown might have them too.
Unless something has changed in the last 40 years, the museum is a good bet.
FYI the post office in town in closed due to the storm so make sure you don't try to drop it off in person
Cracker Barrel or the Welcome Center in Lake Park at Exit 5
Try Rasin’ Cane maybe.
IHOP on 84 near 75 has local postcards, too.
For any future people who may come across this question, I did not find any at the local truck stops. Normally Loves will have some on a little souvenir rack with magnets, shot glasses, etc but there isn't a Loves around that I see. Pilot/Flying J/Whatever typically dont have them based on my experiences.
I called Raising Cane and they said they didn't have any.
The Tourism office told me they recently stopped carrying post cards :(
I stopped by Raising Cane to check the place out, and they actually did have a few randomly sitting on a shelf. They were from Georgia in general and not specifically Valdosta though. They did have a cover greeting cards with some hand drawn pictures of downtown. A pair of scissors turned it into a post card though.
Thank yall for the help!
Maybe Georgia Beer Company or Farmer Browns Produce both come to mind
