On the Hit List

Here are four post offices from southwestern Pennsylvania that are on the block for potential closure. I visited all four of these yesterday, so they were all closed and I don't have any stories. What I can say is these post offices represent the primary meeting points of their respective communities. I did not see any businesses in ANY of these communities, so there would not be any locations for a potential VPO.

Lake Lynn is a 3.4-mile drive from the Point Marian post office, across a river. New Geneva and Martin are relatively close together, but both represent independent communities. Ronco is 2.7 miles from the Masontown post office.

  1. Nice! And all handicapped accessible, too!

  2. Not positive in Martin's case. You'd be rolling on the grass at an angle for a little bit.

  3. Yes, that's what struck me, how it appears to be just barely accessible.

    That, and there sure aren't many of those boxes anymore!
