Post offices saved, but too late for Buckingham

A day late and a dollar 45-cent stamp short, I know. Kyle Munson has been on it.

This is the list of reduced hours. (PDF, organized by ZIP code and state abbreviaion) It includes a lot of those places that were on The List, and more — Aplington, Dike, and Reinbeck are also going to have their time cut.

Although Lincoln lost its final appeal, the final decision was late enough that it fell under the closure moratorium. It will, however, have its hours per day reduced from six to two. It is too late for Buckingham, which now has a “For Sale” sign on its empty building. The only sign it was a post office are the naked flagpole and the town name and ZIP code written on the window.
