Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
Illinois Post Offices
ADDRESS: 1140 Broadway, Rockford, Illinois 61104
This was a random stop. My cousin and I were driving home from our Aunts house one weekend. Since I had driving past one of the larger buildings the prior week I was trying to recall what streets we were on. Since I couldn’t remember I we drove around looking for it, and ended up finding this one.
Thanks for visiting

So we were driving around St. Louis and apparently getting lost. Some how got on the bridge back into Illinois and found the Venice post office. I was like oh cool, there is the post office. I remember it being a warm and humid day.
Funny you can see my reflection in the window.
Thanks for stopping by

For the past five days I’ve been highlighting the post offices we visited during our road trip to southern Illinois. Back in September of 2012 we attempted to thru-hike the River to River Trail. Although we only hiked about 45 miles of the trail we stopped a visited several post offices.
I think for the coming year I’m going to stick with grouping post offices according to the trips I’ve been on. There of course will be some variations of this but for the most part this is my plan for the coming year.
Thanks,
