Franford Missouri Post Office

ADDRESS: 201 Main St., Franford, Missouri 63441

So the name of the city never appears on the front of the Franford Missouri post office. I had to write this one down so I wouldn’t forget where I was when I photographed it. Luckily the names of the streets were in the pictures in case I need further investigation. Having experienced visiting an abundant amount of post offices, its little things like this that I’ve learned. If the name does not appear. Write it down so when I download hundreds of photographs I’ll be able to identify it.

Thanks,

ADDRESS: 110 N. 3rd St., Elsberry, Missouri 63343

So yesterday I commented about remembering or stopping in Edina Missouri. For some reason it stuck out in my mind. Today I bring you the Elsberry Missouri Post Office. Which I don’t remember anything about. Funny how that works out. You stop in one town and remember what you did or what else you observed. Then other day’s are a complete blank.

Thanks,

I have to say I we traveled far and wide on this road trip. I have no idea who the Clemens family is or what they’ve done? Anyone out there know the Clemens?
