The U.S. Postal Service Suburban Processing and Distribution Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland handles mail for Washington, D.C. and some of the surrounding suburbs the center processed more that 2.1 million pieces of mail this past holiday season. Here is a selection of photos of the plant in operation. #upi #USPS #mail #postalservice #letter #mailservice #post

Post office in Lanagan, Missouri. Zip code: 64847. Estimated population: 410. Built in 1891 and still in operation. Notice the olive green relay box, which is used as a drop point. One carrier will drop the mail in the box so a local carrier can pick up and distribute.
