From Maggie in Aug - The Old Post Office in Chicago

Maggie did not realize that the rates had gone up to 66-cents until after she dropped this in the mail. She emailed to let me know - and I was happy to report that it arrived just fine -- without any kind of cancel. Her flowers are so pretty and coordinate with the flowers on the stamps. Or perhaps she chose the colors of the flowers after choosing the stamps. It would make sense to do it that way - right?

I can't remember if I ever posted a link to The Old Post Office. The Old Post Office is in Chicago. I've driven past the building many times. It's HUGE. It's GINORMOUS. After building a newer building it sat there empty for a while. Eventually it was renovated and I discovered the website. I really need to visit it sometime.

Here are links to their website as well as the Instagram account that has mostly photos of events that are held there. Every single space looks very cool. The rooftop is lovely - and large. In some of my reading, I recall the building being a *skyscraper lying on it's side.* Companies can enjoy having everyone on the same floor instead of a stack of offices. 

I'd love to see videos of the meetings where it was decided what to call the building - The Old Post Office is so clear and direct. It seems like it would have been a hard sell. Or maybe it was the world's shortest meeting. 

Person 1: What should we call this new gazillion dollar renovation?

Person 2: The Old Post Office?

Person 3: Sounds good to me. I move we call it The Old Post Office.

Person 4: I second that.

Voted, passed, and everyone went out to celebrate.

The name on the website -  post433.com - seems like it might refer to the address? I'm glad they didn't just stick that name on it.
