The Post master for Long Island a Mr. Frank Calabrese, told me that not only was Quogue ineligible to have its mail delivered, but they had no plans in the future to deliver EVER. And yet, according to multiple accounts including a newspaper story I believe, in Newsday, the great over washed & over privileged, "voted " against it during Mayor Motts' tenure. Curious, one story suggests that, Mr Calabrese is the great arbiter of who gets to have their mail delivered, the other according to the article I referred to, says we could have had this a long while ago. The fact that census statistics, are skewed, given that many homeowners now cowering here, do not claim this as their primary residence further muddies the legality involved.
East Quogue gets their mail delivered, Westhampton gets their mail delivered. Just not Quogue, it may be so Quaint and cute, at this tiny rat hole of a PO, to meet and greet, but what happens when all those privileged who continue to stay here now, (believing they have escaped Covid) and they have to stand there outside in the cold, sleet and rain. Between that and a thoroughly inept staff, and the fact that none of this is in aid of wasted gas, Covid contamination, no ventilation except for the doors, did any of the "meet and greet" think about their neighbors who may be sick, elderly, or handicapped. Well of course not. If it gets too cold to stand outside in the lines, they'll just send their maids. read more
