Good evening to all. Tonight's blog has been long in the making. While on my KY 120 tour, I have been fascinated by all of the small towns along the way. If it is from Monkey's Eyebrow to Farmers to Happy to Marrowbone...there is something special about these small communities. At the heart of these communities are churches, schools (if applicable), and post offices. Over the recent year, there have been numerous of rumors that the Postal Service would be closing down thousands of small town post offices as a cost-saving measure due to the economy and the decrease of business attributable to the growth of cyberspace over the past decade. Although I am not sure that any of these post offices pictured in today's blog are those that will could be facing closure, I still want to share what may become in about 10-20 years a lost industry.
