Latest slap at West Side comes from postal service
EDITOR:
I wonder what the powers that be must be doing when they come up with “logical thinking” of closing the West Side Post Office? Another slap in the face to the West Side residents who patronize that facility. There are no convenient mail boxes easy to get to and now it will be more difficult to get downtown or to Austintown. There are very few days when the parking lot is not full of postal activity from the residents who use this convenience. Shame on your decision making process.
The West Side pays more than it’s fair share in taxes and is getting less in service than other districts. We watched the closing of the ice skating rink, Borts Pool, and the soon to be gone West Side Library and now the local post office.
Why not post a new sign on the Mahoning Avenue bridge welcoming people to the “Dead Zone” since politicians and others are intent in doing the good people on the West Side a disservice.
Give us a break already,
