At least "Palm" is easier to spell for someone over the phone. I like short names. Not enough to want to have my address changed though.
I just read about the Zionsville Post Office closing in 2009 when the building owner refused to renew the lease. Then Zionsville was served by the Hereford Post Office, but allowed to keep its name. I guess now it's going to be served by the Palm Post Office and not be allowed to keep its name.
When my house was built in 1945, the choices for mail were Zionsville at the driveway or a post office box in Palm 2 miles away. It's been Zionsville for 75 years.
Here's the long story I wrote out on a cub cadet forum
The owner of the Zionsville post office building refused to renew the lease ( did give advance warning) but since Zionsville is a very small town, another in town location couldn't be found.
So then Hereford took over Zionsville deliveries. ( about 3 miles away from each other)
Everything was fine until some kids set the Hereford post office on fire on Christmas Day 2017. The Hereford post office is in a shared building, half is the post office and the other half is a Turkey Hill ( 7-11 / Wawa type store)
Then Palm and Alburtis post offices took over while they spent 9 months rebuilding the PO.
Hereford got back in about 18 months ago. Then the building owner jacked up the rent so they wouldn't renew so he could try to put in a fast food franchise about 6 months ago. ( it's still in the planning phase and
nothing has happened)
So instead of Palm taking over my mail again, they have Alburtis doing it and they are 15 miles away.
So their stupidity will create untold hours of me doing address changes. What pissed me off the most was the close to a decade of doing both Cub cadet parts and Kawasaki Triple parts using my Zionsville address. Now I have to hope that folks who have my address saved will contact me before sending parts so I can give them the "new" town and ZIP code
