Grant,

There is just now on the BBC news web site a  short video on a fellow  
who is especially interested in the  disappearing small town post  
offices in USA.  He travels around  and makes pictures of the Post  
offices and gets a usually hand  stamped letter or post card from the  
place.  I suggest you have  a look:

America's  disappearing post offices
The post office has long been a core part of  almost every community in  
America, yet the future looks bleak for  the United States Postal  
Service.

In a bid to dig itself out  of a $10bn deficit, the USPS is considering  
cutting 120,000 jobs and  shutting more than 3,500 post offices.

Evan Kalish, a 25-year-old  graduate student, is trying to visit as  
many as possible before they  disappear. So far he has collected post  
marks at more than 2,700  post offices across the US.

Crisscrossing the country, even going as  far as Hawaii, Evan is  
chronicling on his blog the slow death of an  institution originally  
founded in 1775. In this first person  account, he explains why he  
began this odyssey.
