Wasn’t Seattle one of the cities that had a no go zone back in 2020? I don’t see a problem here. if a city like Seattle is too dangerous for routine postal delivery service, then just don’t deliver the mail.

[PIF]

Yeah you are right I did.

Wasn't there a TV show in the 1960s about wonderful Seattle? The show seemed to have a theme song too.

Yes, it was called Here Come The Brides. It was a story that revolved around a true story about some men from Seattle making a trip to the East Coast (Boston, I think) to try to talk women into traveling to the Northwest to marry. There were a lot of working men (lumberjacks mostly) there; but, not enough women for them to marry. I believe that they made several trips back to the East to bring back brides.

When this show was on, I was in my early teens and wondered if it was a true story. Ends up, that it was a true story, a bit embellished; but, true.

Perry Como sang the theme song. "The bluest skies you'll ever see are in Seattle, and the hills the greenest, green in Seattle ---- etc.

You sure about that? I remember that show. I looked it up & Robert Vaughn (Napoleon Solo), David McCallum (Illya Kuryakin) were the top two guys. I didn’t see Soul listed in the cast for the TV show or movie (2015). I searched on “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” “Men From Uncle” produce that as well.

[PIF]

No I confused Soul with McCallum

That zip code covers all of Seward Park and part of Rainier Valley.

But then, San Francisco was really nice back then, too.

When I was much, much younger, I worked for United Airlines in their corporate office as a data input clerk. I got travel perks and San Francisco was one of my favorites for a visit.

You couldn't pay me to go to San Fran today.

What American calls a line a queue?

No I confused Soul with McCallum
Gotcha. More than one dynamic duo running around in those days. ;O)

[Bounced2X]

I remember hearing about some of that for Sherman. Looks like he turned out good to go. Back in the day us cool dudes couldn’t stand him. Teenybopper. We were into rock n roll, not bubble gum. We used the derogatory term, Peace, Love & Bobby Sherman when the booppers were about. ;O)

Cloward Piven doing its magic. It will only get worse.

David McCallum

[Senormechanico]

Yup, it was called, “Here Come The Brides”.

- What American calls a line a queue? -

Very few. However, this article is from a British web site so it's not surprising they would use the term.

They were told to pick up their mail from the local post office and stood in long queues of up to an hour while delivery services were paused for a week before UPS lifted the ban on Tuesday.

THIS IS THE WAY TO END TOXIC INCENTIVES AND START THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING THE BLACK COMMUNITY. (I'm guessing it's a black community)

Stores should use the same technique before cutting and running...

Grocery store only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9 am and 1 pm and ONLY a given number of people allowed in the store at a time?

Trust me - it's sends the right message...

[P.O.E.]

I think you're confusing Leo G. Carrol with Larry Hovis:

Ha ha ha ha ha.

[catnipman]

clickbait headline: article says mail haltage was exclusively due to theft of a USPS master key and subsequent rekeying, and had zero to do with homelessness, drugs, street crime, shoplifting, etc. ...
