Kind of an "if you have a Wal-Mart, you're at least a town, if you
have a Starbucks, you're a city" ???


I've thought for years the US Postal service could save untold millions if
they would use the Wal-Mart meter to judge weather a place gets its own post
office. Around here every wide spot in the road (WSITR) has a post office
when they could very easily be served by the post office in a nearby town.

There seemed to be a real building boom for POs in the 90's where the little
wood frame buildings all got replaced with a brick building which in almost
all the cases I've noticed were the most expensive building in town.
