Farley Post Office To Close 24-Hour Window

2009_04_farpo.jpg Sorry, 24-hour party people in need of late-night/early-hour postal workers: The Daily News reports that the 24-hour retail window at the James A. Farley Post Office will close starting May 9. The new hours: Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m.-7 p.m. The Farley post office's lobby will remain open 24 hours a day, so customers can access their P.O. boxes and use the automated machines. Regarding the possible closings of Manhattan branches, USPS spokesman George Flood said discussions were ongoing and other locations for the branches were also being considered.

    This just part of a national trend. God forbid they raise the price of a stamp to 75¢ (or about on par with the rest of the world) and continue to operate as normal. Or even better raise the price for junk mailers.

    Isn't it a train station? What's going to happen for those looking for the 12:47am train to Jersey!?
