A few days ago JJ Pair filled you in on the happenings at the Northlake post office and the related neighborhood efforts to keep it around. Just so you know, we are still following the issue. I put in a call today to the postal service higher-ups and left a message asking about the Northlake and the nearby Hillside station and I will let you know when I hear something.

But don’t hold your breath. It’s my understanding that I wouldn’t be the first to attempt to get more specific info with no success.

Meanwhile the best we can do is utilize our post office and proactively voice our opinions — that’s what Jack White, new president of the LHAIA told me when I interviewed him the other day. (Look for that Q&A in your March Advocate!)
