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.

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.

Very cool personal family history, sir. Thanks doe sharing. Any idea why the town didn't continue to prosper?

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

Carien, he’s really cute, heehee

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...:-)
