Thanks for posting this. We've been worried about our little post office and it's not on the list. Whew.

Not mine (but it might as well) but the very small next door community post office is on the list. LOL I grew up exactly one mile north of that post office and, imagine my surprise when I was 9 or 10 to learn that our mail did not even go to that post office...it went to the community 3 miles to the east!!! I think the main problem with the postal system is total inefficiency.

Thanks for the heads up. The branch near my house is not on the list but the one near my work is.

Whew, not us.

By looking at the Idaho list, most of them are teeny tiny towns, or huge cities with multiple post offices already.

One in our town and one in a little town by us.
In our town we have about 6.
The one in our town shouldn't close because it is in a area by all senior citizens. Some can't walk and they don't drive so what are they going to do.

They don't consider that.

Ours will stay open. We only have 1 PO for Maryville and 1 for Alcoa, population about 40,000 for the 2. There are 2 or 3 others in the county, each serving a small town.

Wondering why. I just had a birthday and got many cards. One was from 50 miles away, but was post marked in a city near by, and one was from a friend 2 miles up the road and it was post marked about 130 miles away.
