A View TO A Post Office!

Of course you have to know that I took this picture as I was walking up the hill and to be quite honest with you I probably took this picture just so I could stand still and rest!

For those of you that don't know this is a view of our newest post office as it is being viewed from Penrose Avenue. As you can see if you are going to this post office from Penrose Avenue then you are going to be walking up the hill!

Some people consider the walk good exercise and it just reminds me of the people that I see walking around our neighborhood who are out just walking - some are getting their exercise and some are just out walking!

So if you don't have a car but need to get to the post office - don't worry because you're not alone. At least our local post office is within walking distance if you live in the LaMott/Cheltenham area - although its much closer to the LaMott area.

The post office has all the services of a regular post office. Of the times that I have been there there are usually 2 people manning the customer service. The lines can get quite long sometimes and there have been times that I have been to the post office and while standing in line I have heard other people "grumbling" about how long it is taking to get waited on - but oddly enough it is usually coming from the people who have driven there and not those who have walked there (including me).

The people that work there are very nice - especially one lady in particular - I hope she is the one that waits on you because she is very pleasant and very personable. (I have even seen her handle herself in situations where a good amount of calm is needed). There is also a guy that works there that has long brown hair - he's a "character" - and I mean that in the most nice possible way!

Of course you can get your postal needs done, there is also a stamp machine there that is working - oh I say about 80% of the time, they have post office boxes available (*A side note here - I noticed at the post office at Broad and Stenton in Philadelphia that the rates for the post office boxes have gone up!) and the usual array of post office stationary, etc that you can purchase!
