    US Post Office - It's as if every time I come back, it gets collectively worse.

    Is it just as luck would have it, or is it some twisted joke, that Temple students must grit their…read moreteeth, maintain that stiff upper lip, pump out their chests, and travel to the North Philly Badlands every time they have to pick up a package? It's probably the latter, but, regardless, it may be worth the trip to visit this majestic post office, to see this anachronism of luxury and community investment in a neighborhood now ravaged and forgotten. It's truly a grand dame of a New Deal WPA post office in a Shadey McShadey Hood. The architecture is like "whoa!". It's pure Georgian gone Art Deco, a clever and subtle nod to Independence Hall 1930s-style. Check the expansive rows of arched windows, check the solid red bricked front, check the miniature bell tower, check the decorative arches. This proud commitment to civic pride stands solitary as the young bulls in rich rose shades pop wheelies down the streets, as the grade schoolers play basketball in front of a drive-by memorial, as the old heads with scruffy beards roll blunts on the stoops of long empty buildings. Despite assertions to the contrary, the line is never as long and never as slow-moving as haters aver. Besides, the company provides constant semi-amusement to pass the time. There's always someone complaining aloud, always a not-quite-but-half-senile old man clamoring for his express scripts. Heck, some mornings you may be able to pick up a "hot date" outside the post on the steps - I'd recommend against it, though. At the very least, you can watch the flirtations and dating games of hop heads strung out on Percs and dulled by weed. One not entirely unattractive "customer" of sorts attested that she "goes to the post office every morning, just to meet people to hang out with". But, if you don't like talking to people or if you just don't like talking to shady people in old post offices in bad neighborhoods, there's other ways to pass the time while in line. For one, the walls are lined with great WPA murals displaying Everyman and Everyday - the soldier, the doctor, the capitalist, the merchant, and, of course, the family - domestic bliss! What a bitter contrast to the scene outside the post office doors! It makes one almost wax poetic. But, don't despair, there's a thread of hope - learn from the Futuristic murals of industry, progress (the racing horse! the speeding train! the lofty eagle!), learn from the Black History Appreciation posters. They show how far we've come, how much more we have to achieve. Granted they are yellow and dusty and crumpled. To think, how funny, that people once upon a time built grand post offices with moralistic murals, that people once upon a time fought for lofty concepts like "justice" and "equality". Nowadays, we hate these 'hoods and laugh at these ghetto monuments, we fight with postal clerks who "waste our time" and "take too long".

    Well,it's impossible to get hold of anyone at any of the post offices. They turn off their phones…read morefrom early in the morning till they close. They physical PO closes too early, so if you work and get off at 5 PM, you're stuck if you need them for something, unless you want to speak to an inept AI bot who doesn't understand anything you say, then go for it. Only in Philadelphia, mostly the ones close to Center City. I'm fed up with them.
