Thanks for sharing the article mkfarm. I've been on alligator alley in Florida and I never knew this post office existed or the story behind it.
I love traveling roadside America it's much funner than traveling on expressways where your stops are usually an oasis of fast food chains and gas stations , on another note my long trips were always accompanied by AM radio DXing and I sure will miss hearing Paul Harvey who just passed away.
Officially made my 50th post and in no hurry , always felt that I had all the time in the world to collect stamps. |

I have lived throughout the east coast from Pa to Florida. There are many unique things to see when taking the back roads. However I am always amazed at what type of buildings are used for post offices.
I have learned though not to try and stop at most small post offices during lunch time. There are many one person post offices and yes they close for lunch. |

Did the postcard also feature the small post office? SO it is by itself a unique postcard |

I take pictures of post offices wherever I visit.
Phil Bruno couldn't figure out why I wanted a picture of the U.S. Post Office in Red Hook, NY!
