This was maybe four or five years ago. Not arson or anything, don’t know what happened. But it took more than two years to reopen it.

Instead of walking three blocks to the P.O. had to get in the car and drive to one. Mostly, I missed the ladies that worked there.

Sorry for your loss. This is getting out of hand. I lived in southwest Mpls. for 14 years, and this is all hard to believe.
