Oh, Nevermind. … The USPS had announced earlier this month that the Philatelic Office at the Meridian Branch would be closing in mid-August. In an amazing bureaucratic about-face, they’ve changed their mind.

So the office remains open. The office has faced the chopping block before — even closing for real a few years ago — but has so far defied the odds by remaining open for stamp collecting enthusiasts.

So, why did they change their minds? Was there a vociferous public groundswell of opposition? Demonstrations? Major hobbyist revolt? Online Petition? Is there a lesson to be learned?

Staff at the regular Postal Counter don’t know exactly: “They just changed their mind.” …

Maybe those who worry about the closing of Fire Station #6 should figure out how the office was saved? The lessons may apply?
