In reply to the discussion: Sharice Davids(D-Kansas) Nala(her dog) Wants To Save the Post Office, Too! [View all]Cha
(320,802 posts)31. Mail People have such an important job,
who doesn't like the mail.. on the chance it could be something good.
That's a funny story about your dog catching your mail carrier's car and their kind reaction to it.
I just found out something.. I thought our Post Office, closest to me, was closing down. I didn't know it was suppose to be in Dec 2017, though!
It was built in 1939..
Postal Service will keep open historic Kauai post office
Lihue- A historic post office on Kauai will remain open after the U.S. Postal Service reversed a decision to shut it down.
The service had announced its decision to close the Lihue Post Office in December 2017, prompting hundreds of letters and coconuts to be sent to the service in support of keeping the post office open.
The agency planned to close the Rice Street office to consolidate operations at its carrier annex facility next to the Lihue Airport. The consolidation also aimed to solve ongoing parking problems and access issues at the historic building.
After a thorough review of our options, we decided it would be in the best interest of our customers and the Postal Service not to relocate our retail services from our Rice Street facility, said spokesman Duke Gonzales.

Kauai County Mayor Derek Kawakami thanked officials for their work in keeping the office open, especially the people of Kauai who saw the value of maintaining our sense of place and rural character.

Kick for the USPS, the nice green plant, and because the dog is giving me the evil eye.

GOP is suddenly scared of mail-in voting, forgetting the military has done it for years
