Weigh in on proposal to close 3 L.B. Post Offices

Three Long Beach Post Offices are on a list of 677 targeted for possible closure, according to the Washington Post:

  • 5227 E. Second St. in Belmont Shore

  • 1 World Trade Center downtown

  • 101 E. Market St. In North Long Beach 

Of the 677 targeted for study, only 200 or so nationwide will close, according to the Post article.

I've already received concerned e-mail about the Shore location. I'd like to know what readers think of this proposal for all three locations and if they can identify alternatives.

The USPS needs to be privatized and/or outsourced. If UPS and FedEx can make it with home/office deliveries, why can't they?

Both UPS and Fed Ex--are also on the ropes...

The USPS runs great, and is run as an independent company. I like and need the Post Office in the daily work of my business.
