Will Maloney Make LES Seniors Walk 3 More Blocks for Stamps?

Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney met with the NYC postmaster to discuss the possibility of closing the Pitt Station post office as part of much-needed budget cuts. The USPS points out that Knickerbocker Station is only three-tenths of a mile away. But LES seniors point out that that can be really far for some people, as well as the fact that Knickerbocker has stairs. And old people hate stairs. [The Lo-Down]

or you could close the knickerbocker one and make them walk to the east broadway chinatown (or pitt station if that is the argument here) one instead (also three or so blocks away) and save the pitt street one (even though there is a horrific woman working there who makes the closing seem a happy thing), but that is extremely unlikely given the constituency of the knickerbocker one as opposed to the pitt station.
