A lot of small towns do that. In many residential neighborhoods, like the one I live in, there is a mailbox "kiosk" (for lack of a better word) every block where the mail gets delivered. They look like miniature versions of the wall of boxes you would see in the post office. So rather than having to stop at every house, its one stop per block which saves a lot of time. I may be wrong, but it seems like one of the costliest parts of the service is the to-the-door delivery model.

Senate Democrat: We Can Save the Postal Service with Wind Farms!

On Tuesday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar accused Republicans of living in a "fairy tale world" when it comes to energy policy -- but, people in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones. There's at least one Congressional Democrat convinced that the Postal Service "needs to be thinking boldly" about its self-preservation by storing collected energy from offshore windfarms in its fleet of vehicles' batteries... er, or something? Is Sen. Tom Carper's (D-DE) argument even logical?
