This may not matter to many of you but to me it’s one of the best things about Los Angeles. I’ve blogged about it before but it bears repeating….

Today I was at the Del Valle Finace Post Office (near West Adams) to buy stamps. I has just left the Chinatown area which is home to another LA favorite of mine, The Framing House Design, and had to pay a visit. The whole post office experience took me five minutes – and I even wrote a check. FIVE MINUTES! There were two other cars in the lot and by the time I left (after FIVE minutes) there were none…none! And this is at 11:15 am. You can beat that with a stick. No way.
