I honestly cannot believe I am typing this but they finally backed down and the post office is staying open right where it belongs. It has been such a long road dodging all those corporate excuses (which were clearly never true anyway) and I am just so relieved we kept …

Babson Park needs this post office! Stop cutting services in small communities just to save a few pennies.

The lines are already long enough as it is. Closing locations makes absolutely no sense and just hurts us.

My family has used this branch for 30 years. Driving all the way to town just to mail a simple package is ridiculous.
