Here’s the news of the day, via the San Francisco Business Times: 3700 post office branches are set to be shut down by the USPS.
Here’s what’s on the chopping block in San Francisco:
| BAYVIEW |
SAN FRANCISCO |
94124 |
| CIVIC CNTR P O BOX UNIT |
SAN FRANCISCO |
94102 |
| FEDERAL BUILDING SAN FRAN |
SAN FRANCISCO |
94102 |
| MCLAREN STATION |
SAN FRANCISCO |
94134 |
| VISITACION STATION |
SAN FRANCISCO |
94134 |
Mmmm.
Now the Federal Building PO is just a little thing, sort of a secret for those in the know – no waiting there. And the Civic Center PO Box Unit, well that’s not really a PO anymore anyway.
So.
We’re going to lose three full-fledged POs and they all just happen to be in the southeast corner?
Two in the 94134…

…and one in the 94124:

Uh….
Uh….
WTF, USPS?
What’s that? You spent all your money sponsoring that drugged-up cyclist? All right, but this one is not going to go down well…
See the entire “Expanded Access study list” for California after the jump.

You know what makes you better than all those melon farmers out there? It’s the fact that you hang your hat every night in the City and County of San Francisco. That makes you special. To celebrate you, the California Academy of Sciences is offering free admission for you (and your neighbors). Just match up your zip code with the handy chart below, gather up the necessary proof of where you reside, and head on over to Golden Gate Park.
And the nice thing about this free admission program is that it probably won’t be as crowded as it sometimes gets on the third Wednesday of the month, when everyone gets in sans tariff.

Thanks, Bank of America.
