When Was The Last Time You Set Foot Inside a Post Office?

The US Postal Service will announce the closure of 3,600 locations on Tuesday.

When was the last time you set foot in a U.S. Post Office? The independent postal agency has been forced to downsize and is expected to close more than 3,600 post offices nationwide, said officials. The targeted offices will be mostly in rural areas, although the final list will be made available Tuesday. The closures will amount to approximately 11 percent of the nation's offices.

The Citrus Heights branch made the list, though it looks like the Fair Oaks office will remain open.
