I found myself in need of a couple of stamps on Saturday. I discovered that neither of the post offices near me are open for retail service on Saturdays. You can access the PO boxes and the stamp machine, but the machine only sells books of stamps. I almost never have need of stamps, generally doing everything online, so I'm loathe to pay nearly nine dollars for a book of stamps when the rate is bound to go up before I use them all.
Thusly, I needed to go to a little post office inside a water store about a mile north on Lankershim. The way the neighborhood transitions between the subway station and this post office is interesting. The subway station is the northernmost point of the NoHo arts district: fairly vibrant and fashionable. Between that point and Vanowen, it becomes a little gritty and rundown. Then there's a block above Vanowen that looks like some shabby, desolate border town. Then it looks just a little worse than the block I live on. That's where the post office in the water store is.
