Breedsville Michigan Post Office

ADDRESS: 18 E. Main St., Breedsville, Michigan 49027

Breedsville was one of 18 post offices I stopped at during a road trip in early August 2012. My girlfriend and I headed to South Haven for their annual blueberry festival. Later this year I’ll showcase more buildings from Michigan.

We had a nice time picking some blueberries, visiting the craft vendors and enjoying the bands later in the evening. This was my first time to South Haven. It was really nice walking on the pier and enjoying the harbor. South Haven has this nice sort of New England feel with all the small shops. If you get the chance to visit I’d recommend it.

Thanks,

So here’s the thing about visiting lots of post office. Take Wilmington, IL for example, I really don’t have any recollection of what it was like while I was there. I’m just going through some of my photos and realized I never posted an article about this one. And to be honest since this was one of my early road trips in 2012, I don’t remember a thing about the area either.

See, at some point after visiting lots of post offices it just sort of becomes routine. What I mean is that I dive to the next town. I look for the post office. Then if all goes smoothly I take a quick photo of the exterior of the building, I go inside and look around and then I’m on my way. Sometimes this goes really quickly, and I don’t remember a thing, which I think was the case for Wilmington, IL.

Thanks,

Another post office I’ve had to visit twice in order to get good photos and to check for other features. Marengo is not too far from home so I wasn’t bothered by having to re-visit.

Thanks,
