    I received mail that had been opened. My mail was opened by postal deliverer. I called to file a…read morecomplaint and the computer automated system just kept on getting doing circles I could not get to a human to file any sort of complaint so that they can fix the issue.

    I've never understood the negative reviews on here. Sure ,there are long lines (this is America) at…read moretimes, but understaffed and let's face it many fellow customers at the window never shut the hell up and make us regulars wait forever. My god do I hate these individuals. Friendly chit chat that doesn't make lines grow, or you're waiting cool, just don't blab endlessly because you're bored. Not good. Then there are the lovely people that are clueless about sending packages. Here's an idea, have your package prepped and taped well before ya get there. Huge helo to all. Now, the revolving door of clueless mailmen that are overwhelmed, oblivious to time, or new that come all hours of the night I hear ya. Maybe get a PO Box for just packages. Huge relief there And they're timely and quick. As for the lobby and service rarely any issues here unless an occasional misplaced package, Bloody hell people, we all lose or misplace stuff. And it's nothing like down south where you're lucky if they scan stuff. Trust me I know. You want bad customer service talk to Comcast. These guys are fine by me. I rarely do things like this so I think that says if all. Lighten up.

    You can't get there…read morefrom here The diminutive Annisquam Harbor Lighthouse is a classic. Not many people know it's name or even where it is but millions have seen this light in movies, TV commercials and numerous ads. Very quietly very famous, Rudyard Kipling once stayed at the light to work on his Captain Courageous book. The Annisquam Light certainly isn't massive, tall or physically imposing but perhaps that's part of the appeal. It's gracefully flowing shape and gentle lines make for an extremely aesthetically pleasant sight. It's the light that many people instinctively think of when they hear the word lighthouse. The first lighthouse in the area was built in 1801 but as ship traffic in the harbor increased the small tower was replaced by the present 41 foot high present light in 1897. It originally had a 5th order Fresnel Lens but the lighthouse was automated in 1974 and is presently maintained by the Coast Guard. I would easily give this light five stars except for one important reason. It's virtually impossible to get close to. The only road to the lighthouse was made private and is guarded more securely than most stockpiles of nuclear weapons. The only way to really see the light is by the water or by being very, very sneaky. It is such a special and incredibly beautiful light that it is indeed a travesty that they make it impossible to get near. Damn, it's a lighthouse not a nuclear submarine, access to the light should be given to the public. Another example of bureaucrats doing what is easy but not what is right.
