Glenoaks Post Office To Close In Burbank…And I don’t Like It…Not One Little Bit. 

I am bummed. I’m actually a little bit more than bummed, but me posting pictures of myself crying, throwing a tantrum and sucking my thumb like a baby would just be confusing to all.

I don’t want to see this station close. It’s the closest Post Office to my home and I have a P.O. Box there. It’s been my station for 11 years. Yes, the parking is minimal, but it’s convenient and if you time it right, there is normally a short line.

I was in about a month ago and I asked if it was really going to shut its doors…the employee (one of three, maybe?) handed me a flyer with information on how we, as the public, can appeal.

Or try to, rather.

It sounds set in stone, but I’m still raising my fist saying.. “NO. NO. Don’t Close. If you do and I have to go to the downtown station to get to my PO box with my three kids, I may go crazy…who knows! NO. NO. Don’t Close. If you…..”

You get the picture.

I am NOT on either side of Adam Schiff, but in a recent article in the Crescenta Valley Weekly, he’s quoted as saying:
“Closing the Glenoaks Post Office would leave Burbank with only two full service Post Offices. While smaller post offices would still continue to operate in the City, those post offices would not offer City residents and businesses the same level of service as the Glenoaks Post Office and as a result residents and business owners would suffer a significant degradation in service. Small business owners and families who rely on the Post Office on a daily basis to help their firms grow, or to receive prescription medication, will likely have to travel far to conduct their business with USPS.”

I plan on filing an appeal, and if anyone of you feel the need to help keep this third office open, feel free to join me.

The other offices are very busy as it is. If this one (when this one) closes, their traffic will increase.

I’m bummed.
