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.

Santo André's Central Post Office

This is my city's central post office, where I now receive and send my mail. It's a little further from my house, but it was the only branch where there was an vacant PO Box.


In front of the agency there is a statue of João Ramalho, a pioneer and founder of the village. As the world is decolonizing, I think the time has come to remove this statue and take it to another place.


Unfortunately it was cloudy today. Next time I will photograph from other angles, as it is a very beautiful square.

I understand. I would have been very upset if I had suffered that. This is an incorrect and unprofessional attitude.

Helene...sorry about the spelling. It autocorrected.

Helen, I mailed my envelopes from the mailbox in front of the post office.  I live in a very small town. I do NOT put my return address on anything, but they figured out who I was (I'm guessing by the mail I used to receive.  (My mailbox is closed and I am more or less "retired" from mail art). I had a note to go to the post office,  and there were TWO of my envelopes being held...and I was told, basically,  NOT to send any mail art any more. 

Now, when I do mail it, I mail when I go to the mainland, away from the island I live on and the mail art police at the post office.

Maxima Strange. Merci

That’s what I thought. I’d rather check to avoid missing a "private joke" special mail-artist. :-)
I’ve never had a comment like that. I put my envelopes in mailboxes on the street. I don’t go to the post  office. No counter, no unpleasant comments.

Helene, it is his humorous way of saying that the handlers at this particular post office refuse to accept his wonderfully extravagant envelopes for mailing.
