< http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43910155/ns/business-local_business/ >I looked up the closure list a couple months ago, and the great majority of the closures were in cities like New York where apparently every other tenement block had its own post office. But when I hear about little towns like the one in the article losing the only US Government presence it might have, it makes me contemplate how the federal government can be completely bloated, yet still less and less able to provide basic services for citizens. The bubble is set to pop. Posted by TheCatt on Aug. 01 2011,14:10
< List for NC >I haven't heard of 13 of the towns listed (out of 19) Posted by GORDON on Aug. 01 2011,14:20
That's a different list from what I saw before.The little PO in Clay Center where my grandmother was postmaster is closing. Posted by TPRJones on Aug. 01 2011,14:32
One of the post offices just up the road from where I live spent the past year (and easily a few million dollars, but I'm no expert) renovating the building and making the place nice and fancy. They finished it up last month.And now they are closing it down. Go figure. |
