US Post Office

Psych yourself up before you enter the depressing halls of this place. If at all possible use the self service kiosks inside lobby & near clerk counter.
If you must go to a clerk, be prepared to stand in a long line of sad people. Seriously a gloomy atmosphere. Then don’t be surprised if the clerk you get is slow (why rush?) and tries to sell you on the most expensive service. Ugh.

Wow, we’ve been to a lot of government offices and never had such a frustrating experience. It’s been over an hour and still no passport renewals for the kids. We are in line now for the third time. We have had three different stories from different employees as to what form is required, what supporting docs are required and more. We called in advance for an explanation that turned out to be wrong. Then when in the office, the desk worker says only the janitor answers the phone. Seriously? Not my problem. One employee had us fill out one form, then another a different form. Then one said that was all we needed. When we came back they said, oh you also need both parents and you also need original birth certificates. Wait, the last guy said the form was all we needed, and that was the second form we filled out. This review would be one star for this experience, but I have had many positive experiences with other employees and the post master, so I’m adding two stars for them. To the others I would say that competence, or in its absence, friendliness, goes a long way.

There’s drive up mailbox drop if you want to avoid the long lines inside. This post office is always packed, so plan accordingly if you are on a strict time schedule.

Yes, another Post office. Easy access, drive thru for the quickies, and spacious parking. Come on down and lick a few stamps! (yes they still exist)
