I love this post office. It is always quick and the one lady that works there is always polite and efficient. It is in a charming old building, too.

This is one of the strangest post offices I have ever been to. Not only is it extremely unevenly staffed (sometimes five workers, sometimes one - with no apparent logic), but they also close at 4pm on weekdays. It is the closest station to my house so I have to come here relatively frequently (2-3 times per month), and while the line can be intimidating at times, even when short staffed it does tend to move relatively quickly. On the plus side, parking is plentiful and I’ve never had trouble finding a space (though at times it can be challenging to get into the lot during rush hour when the traffic to/from the lower 9th ward is heavy).
