    No matter how long the line when I reach the window I feel like their attention is on me and me alone. Thank you for the years of service you have provided!

    What are the collection times of your mail drop boxes, on weekends and weekdays? Please add this info to this location's description so everyone has access to this important information. (Someone needs to do this for ALL Post Office locations. It's known info, but not posted anywhere online. You can only know by driving to the deep box and opening it to see the posted time. FYI, Google Maps DOES allow different hours for different "services" (lobby, staffed, collecting times, passport photo hours, etc). It can also just be typed into the location description! ) Thanks

    Friendly staff, lots of parking, and a well kept location with a ton of PO boxes. They have a self serve shipping station where you can print labels yourself, free USPS boxes, and other shipping supplies for sale. It can get busy as the parking lot makes this location easier to access than other locations.
