I have lived in a number of towns in Illinois, and always grumbled about my
mail service -- until I moved to my present home, Oak Park.  This particular
post office appears to be run very well.  One Christmas, my folks mailed a
box containing gifts in about the second week of December from Tarpon Springs,
Florida.  When they told me this, I thought I would be lucky to see anything
before the new year.  I got a pink "tried to deliver" slip two days later!
I have told my parents to forget UPS and send all packages Parcel Post, as
the post office is much more convenient for me to reach than the local UPS
office.  Packages from Florida have never taken more than 3 days to reach me.
