it goes without saying that the first things you would grab are your children, your pets, and your List Of Architecturally Significant Post Offices Sidewinder Has Visited.
To this list you may now add, "Civic Center Station, Duluth, Minnesota 55801, located in the Gerald Heaney Federable Building and U.S. Courthouse at 500 W 1st Street in Duluth."
For you see, there I was, just last Tuesday, buying some stampages and then mailing my venerable JCPenney account payment ($25 on a balance of $30 and change; can't wait to write that next check).
A thing that confuses me is, is this in fact an Architecturally Significant Post Office that I visited, akin to the NRHP-listed United States Post Offices in Petaluma, California; as well as Napa, San Mateo, and San Diego, California.... OR; is it merely an NRHP-listed building, conceived and implemented as a Federable building and courthouse, to which post office functionality was only added on later? If the latter is the case, this creates massive confusion about whether Duluth's Civic Center Station post office truly counts as an Architecturally Significant Post Office or not, and a panel of experts shall have to convene in the situation room.
The next day I sent a postcard to Staci in Massachusetts. I used Lakeside Station on Superior Street, north of the high school, to mail that one.
Much less stressful.
