Editorial: 'Closed, come back in an hour and 15': "Times are indeed tough at the U.S. Postal Service — not just because of the weak economy but email’s growing popularity. So postal rate hikes (like the one due in May) and service cutbacks are understandable. But the latter still have to be implemented carefully, so as to minimize customer inconvenience.

Somehow, the idea of shuttering a post office branch located in the heart of a thriving business district for an hour and 15 minutes each afternoon — as Scotia’s Mohawk Avenue post office intends to do starting next month — strikes us as anything but convenient."
