Small, local and just perfect. On one recent occasion I had my son with me while mailing a package. The gentleman on duty struck up a conversation with my son about his NY Giants hat. The next time we stopped by “ Charlie” gave him a pack of football cards and invited him back anytime. Made my boys day. Now he can’t wait to go back.
