ADDRESS: 701 E. 31st St., La Grange Park , Illinois 60526

So I was just driving along Hillgrove Ave when I spotted the La Grange Park Illinois Post Office. My mission on the day I took this photograph was to get inside the Berwyn and Brookfield lobbies. But I figured since I was right there I’d stop and take a look and I’m glad I did.

This is the first time I’ve seen 4 plaques together. United States Postal Service, Our Commitment, Our Goals, Our Creed, and Our Philosophy. With all the issues it makes you stop and think? Can the post office really stick to them. I hope so, what do you think?

Thanks,

Kenilworth Illinois Post Office

ADDRESS: 408 Green Bay Rd., Kenilworth, Illinois 60043

Welcome to Kenilworth where the median household income in 2009 was just over $240,000. I don’t know why I went searching for this statistic, I guess because I’ve always heard this was an upper class neighborhood and was curious. Driving around this area you really do get a sense of the upper class feeling. Just looking at some of the “smaller” or normal size houses are all pretty impressive.

Thanks,

Warm Springs Montana Post Office

ADDRESS: 22 Garnet Way, Warm Springs, Montana 59756

The Warm Springs post office resides right down the street from the Montana State Hospital. At the time I was trying to figure out what this large building was. If I remember correctly I read that it was a hospital but had no idea that it was state-run hospital and established back in 1877. A quick google search reveled this interesting bit of information.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
