I also thought the one we used was closing - it’s the one closest to Boehner’s home and employees there told my wife they thought they were on the list. Checked it at:

Found 45069 was not on the list - which actually looks like it may have some reasonable basis.

That being said, there is likely much more the USPS can do to be more efficient. Our mail is delivered from a post office 14.5 miles away based on our assigned ZIP code, while there are two different zip code post offices within 6.5 miles.

Our primary post office is actually a substation of a much larger office that is about 25 miles from our home. The area north of Austin had just over 5,000 people living there in the late 80s and early 90s. It now has over 35,000 and growing.

There is actually a PO that is closer that serves several zip codes. That office had to build a new facility to handle the growth. The had a small office in a strip mall, and now have one that sits on several acres.

BTW, welcome to FR!
