One of my Deputy Yelpers calls this "America's ugliest post office." Now, that strikes me as a tad…read moreharsh, although it is remarkably nondescript. But I don't really care about the exterior appearance anyway. It's really about what goes on inside. Here, you'll see that the staff do take some pride in the place. There are glass-enclosed bulletin boards with various items of interest, local history and otherwise, for you to peruse while waiting on line. (I especially like the inclusion of the Van Gogh "Postman" - took me right back to Arles, if for only a very brief moment.) And you might indeed be waiting on line, especially if you show up at 11:00 AM - when they close for lunch for an hour. You'll have plenty of time to view the "Local History" bulletin board, too. You'll learn that they had something called Lutherland closeby. You'll actually have enough time waiting to commit the entire contents of the bulletin board to memory, if you wish. Naturally these little rural-area outposts have their own customs and practices, which might seem quite mysterious to an outsider. I was the first customer in line when the lunch break was over, but when I inadvertently presented my Deputy Yelper's PO box key along with the parcel notice card (perhaps not yet having entirely returned mentally from Arles) for the parcel I had been sent to pick up, the staff person barked at me (yes, as though I'm a delinquent child, to borrow from another review here), "So what do you want me to do with THAT?" So I quickly apologized for my goof, and as the clerk disappeared in the back, I turned to the other customers and asked, "Are they always so courteous here?" To which some guy (obviously resenting it that an out-of-towner managed to get in front of him for the noon-time re-opening) barked, "Didn't seem rude to ME!" As I said, they have their own customs and practices known only to the regulars. But the sought-after parcel was promptly presented to me, and as I left, tucking the package under my arm, I could only think of how Van Gogh's Postman Joseph Roulin must have carried his parcels in just that same way.

If you're feeling too happy and want someone to bring you down by speaking to you like you're a…read moredelinquent child head on over to this pathetic excuse for a USPS. They will always be happy to refuse your mail if you don't have a PO BOX (but a legal address). It's a shame that in what is primarily a vacation community that does not have mail to house delivery (and you're guaranteed an included PO box) you will be subject to harassment and condescending attitude by the postmaster and his staff. If you manage to jump through the hoops to actually get the included PO Box you'll be threatened that if you do not check it 2x per week it will be delisted and you will be charged. Does it matter that you don't expect to get much mail? Yes - because, as the postmaster claims, he must dutifully stuff your PO Box with the junk mail that he gets regularly. While I understand he must deliver the mail he is given, it's definitely used as more of an excuse to NOT give you a box (or discourage you from having one). It's too bad because the Poconos are wonderful and pleasant except for this sad, miserly exception of an establishment. I wish I could redirect tax dollars to someone who wasn't a misanthrope.
