Green post office

by lettermuseum

I am driving around Long Island for a few days. I started at the westernmost end to get a better look at the places I fly over when landing at JFK, then continued east to the Hamptons. I’ve been noticing post offices along the way. This one in Southampton looks so different from others – new, with columns – that I went inside to talk to the postal clerks. They said it’s about five years old and that it’s a “green” post office. I said that’s a new one on me and asked what it means. They said they’re not sure, but they get a lot of complaints from residents about the easy-care lawn.
