The sign on the door of the Field Branch Post Office at 625 N. Euclid
says it is closed temporarily due to lack of maintenance (air conditioning).
When I took a package to the Marion Oldham Branch on Laclede yesterday morning, I was told by a clerk that the Field Branch would most probably remain closed. That would be a setback for those who rent mailboxes at the Euclid location, since the Laclede Branch is a bit of a hike, especially for those with few transportation options.
As the clerk said, "It was going to close in two years anyway (see earlier post here)." Maybe so, but two years is a long time. I've felt a little spoiled being able to walk to the post office, and I've seen lots of people I know enjoy the proximity as well. If the post office does close for good, it will be an unfortunate loss for the neighborhood.
