Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
ADDRESS: 472 Canal St., Bloomington, WI 53804
Today’s featured post office is the wet looking Bloomington Wisconsin Post Office. Just a brief rain-shower as we headed through town. I was in no mood to wait for the passing rain. I rather like the wet look. I should head out more often when it rains.
Thanks,

That’s one massive building batman!, Why yes Robin it sure is? Is the Freeport Illinois Post Office. How did you know? Well I hear of this guy who goes around taking pictures of post offices. Some sort of freak or something. Oh I see!!!, we’ll how about that?
We’ll Robin, this great post offices also has a survey maker at one of the entrances. Making this one quite unique.

Today’s featured building is Camden Tennessee. Very interesting mural, some minor damage, I hope they restore this soon. It was a great day to photograph. I love having a clear sky to get these outside shots. Think this pretty much sums up my Tennessee collection. I look forward to visiting again.
Can you tell me something interesting about this post office? What do you think about the mural? Do you know anything else about it?
