SHOW ME YOUR POST OFFICE

I read that USPS will be shutting down smaller post offices soon. I fear my little town PO may be one of the ones to go, so I took a photo. I’d love to see your hometown post office, too.

That’s so interesting, Mark. I love seeing the envelopes. I love the way writing looked back then.

The greed of privatisation of public services is so destructivekkD65017B5-5284-4181-9EB5-5123E555C263.jpeg

Super this photo. Thanks Carien. In France the semi-privatization of the Post Office means that the postman changes every week.
Ten years ago, my postman (a woman), whom I had known for 15 years, retired. She came to see me. She told me that she had a good time with her colleagues watching and reading (postcards) of mail artists.

The letters of Mail Art make many happy on their way...:-)

No post office in my hometown anymore, except for a few 'postal service points'. But here is my handsome postman, who was willing to pose with me and declared how lovely the creations are that he delivers on my address.

I, too,by pleasure of sending and receiving mail, I will continue to make mail-art
