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.

Mark, what an incredible testimonial! And how important is this rescue of the memory of our ancestors. I loved knowing. And thanks for sharing the photos.

Mail Art News, how beautiful to see the grandeur of the Baltimore building... just like old times... I also prefer to go to the main post office, although it is further away.

It's a complete mapping of post offices! Great work.

I don't know if this is one person, but someone has taken thousands of photos of post offices (32,650 Photos).

Behemoth brutalist Baltimore main post office (above)

The post office for my zipcode 21218 (below). It's easier just to go downtown to the main post office.

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