post office: 1923-2006

you know when you frequent a place for a number of years, its demise is like losing a friend. today, our post office closed for the sake of progress.



this building, built in 1923, is being razed in a number of days. in its place, a skyscraper will be built to make space for more, ta-dah, luxury high-rise condominiums. the post office will eventually return when the construction is done in three to four years. but no longer will the place have that familiar, musty, attic smell that old post offices always do. instead, the future venue will look like a strip mall-type post office with fancy automated kiosks and lcd screens.



vernon will no longer be selling soda, chips, and the globe in the lobby. he, unlike the rest of the mail carriers and sorters, will have to find a new job come monday.



it seems that this is the way of the world; out with the old, in with homogeneity.
