Shhhh...I'm going to tell you a secret so don't tell anybody. OK?
If I don't want to stand in line at the main post office on Blowing Rock Rd., or if I'm not up to risking life or limb to turn left crossing the traffic, I take my packages to the King Street location where the world's most friendly postal clerks work. The WPA era building was constructed in 1938 and is on the National Registry. Inside is a delightful mural depicting Daniel Boone out on a hunting trip. Here's another image, a postcard of the building sans tree. Note the postcard reads 'circa 1920,' but I beg to differ with that date.
I took this image of the Boone post office a day or two ago because the maple tree still had most of it's leaves and I liked the bright blue sky.
Note: I had to do some yoga moves to get this angle. My cheek was resting on the damp ground.
