The U.S. Postal Service tried to keep secret its list of 407 post offices it has recently closed, but the Postal Regulatory Commission asked for the list and then made it public. The list, of "post office/station/branch suspensions" through Feb. 28, apparently had already been shared with members of Congress.
The list includes such distinctive names as Only, Tenn.; Oxbow, Maine; Delta City, Miss.; Vulcan, Mo.; Silver, Tex,; Port Byron, Ill.; Donnybrook, N.D.; Sweet Briar, Va.; Bob White, W.Va.; Rowdy, Hardburly and Yosemite, Ky. (they pronounce it YO-see-mite); and these branches or stations: Assinippi, a branch of Hanover, Mass.; Buttsville (Oxford), N.J., and Surprise (Earlton), N.Y.
While most of the offices appear to be rural, the list includes some notable urban locations: West Hollywood, Calif., and the United Nations and Wall Street stations in New York City. For a PDF of the list, click here.
