It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Best viewed with a renewal of spirit.

Cisco, Utah (also called Cisco Landing) is virtually a ghost town South of Interstate 70 on the ‘scenic’ route to Moab, Utah from the Colorado – Utah border. There is no longer an active post office and about half of town proper was (at the time this was taken) owned by Eileen the only permanent resident. The postal code remains valid. It covers an ara of approximately 318 square miles and a population of 15 (www.unitedstateszipcodes.org/84515/ ). However, the last actual US Post Office was set in a shipping-container-style unit, now derelict, the side of which is shown here. - JW

Tucked between the Embarcadero waterfront and the soaring skyline of downtown San Francisco, the Ferry Station Post Office Building is a quiet architectural gem with an imposing neoclassical facade and a subtle charm. Built in 1915, this handsome red-brick structure was originally designed to serve the city's bustling ferry traffic and remains a rare survivor from the era before bridges reshaped Bay Area transit. The carefully rusticated stonework around the main entrance and the crest above the doors hint at the building’s federal roots, while the deep-set windows and symmetry evoke a dignified government presence. Though San Francisco has rapidly changed around it, this post office continues to anchor the neighborhood with a sense of permanence, recalling a time when letters, packages, and telegraphs flowed through here as quickly as commuters. It’s easy to miss in the shadows of glass towers, but worth a closer look—especially for lovers of historic infrastructure. Today, it stands as a small but significant reminder of the city’s maritime past and civic identity.
While Sebrell Historical Distri ct includes structures dating back to prerevolutionary times, "Downtown" Sebrell arose in the early 20th century, and was in decline by the 1930s. I made the trip down to Southern Virginia in part because of photos I'd seen of this building. This was the R.A. & W.N. Whitehead Store, a general store and Post Office. Mrs. Evelyn Whitehead, the Postmistress for 25 years, closed down the PO and, I presume, the building, in August, 1968.

We learned yesterday that the Postmaster General made the announcement for the 2022 stamp program. I am honored to say that one of my photos will be included as part of the, “Mighty Mississippi” release.
Though it won’t show up in the stamp block, my photo of the Julien Dubuque bridge will be the top image displayed in the decorative border around the block of stamps.
The real news- This photo was posted to Flickr October 21, 2008. I was contacted by the photo search company in May, 2020 by Flickr mail. Documents were signed, agreements made and details were filled in. I was sworn to secrecy. A check arrived September, 2020. SUPPORT FLICKR. KEEP YOUR FLICKR ACCOUNT UP TO DATE. GOOD STUFF HAPPENS.

Description: Postmaster General James Farley designated May 15-21, 1938 as National Air Mail Week in recognition of the twentieth anniversary of the beginning of America's regular airmail service. Post office buildings across the country noted the anniversary with lobby displays celebrating the service. The nation-wide campaign was used to promote an increased use of airmail service by the public. At the time, the cost of domestic airmail service was twice that of regular mail (six cents versus three cents). National Postal Museum, Curatorial Photographic Collection Photographer: Unknown

In 2007, hundreds of official U.S. Postal Service blue collection boxes in highly visible locations across 200 cities were transformed into Star Wars character R2D2 look-alikes. The decal-covered mailboxes were rolled out to promote a joint venture with Lucasfilm Ltd: a commemorative stamp roll celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars' release, that went on sale May 25 of that year.
"R2-D2 is the feisty little droid who embodies the trust and dependability for which the Postal Service is so renowned." (USPS.gov)

The site of the former Cisco (Utah) post office is on the right. Based on the newer-style mailboxes, there must be somebody still around, but I didn't see a single person during my brief visit to Cisco, which is usually described as a ghost town.
US Post Office Jackpot, Nevada. Jackpot is a small (population 1200) community located about a mile south of the Nevada-Idaho state line. According to Wikipedia, Jackpot was founded in 1954 when Idaho outlawed casinos and a couple of competing gamblers moved their equipment to this area. It took them five years to agree on a name for the new town. Jackpot now has five lodging establishments (one has 300 rooms!) with casinos.
