Missouri Post Offices

ADDRESS: 305 Main St., Holliday, Missouri 65258

Today in honor of the Holiday’s I bring you the Holliday Missouri Post Office. Although spelled with two “L’s” It’s the thought that counts. This was a great little visit back in August.

As we were headed home from one of our trips we decided drive through Holliday. It was pretty easy to convince my girlfriend to stop as her last name is Holliday with the same spelling. So we did, and found out some interesting bits of information while here.

Apparently, the town was named after a Holliday. It also appears there are also some Holliday’s still residing in Holliday Misouri. The post master also commented they often times get Christmas Cards addressed to them. Just some more fun stuff I though you would enjoy.

Have a great day from the Holliday, Missouri Post Office.

ADDRESS: 101 Thresher Dr., Eureka, Missouri 63025

Eureka Missouri was another post office we visited during our summer vacation in 2006. Eureka was also one of my early photographs. I don’t remember looking or checking the lobby for any interesting features. When I first started photographing, I was only interested in getting the name of the city on the building as shown above.

Today I’m much more interested in photographing the entire building. In addition I’m also interested in the other features like artwork, old photos in the lobby, dedication plaques, honor plaques, display cases with memorabilia. It’s amazing what you find when you stop to talk to the locals and take a closer look around.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
