Wahhhhhhhh...Newark's losing its postmark

Call me weird...again. Add it to my list of eccentricities. But i'm very fucking annoyed to read that as of Nov. 18, Newark will lose its postmark due to cost-cutting consolidation measures. You still will be able to get it if you personally walk into a Newark post office and ask for it, and many businesses will still use their own "Newark" meters. So, actually, it won't be TOTALLY gone at all. But a lot of mail WILL now just say "Kearny" instead of Newark. It's a small blow to the city's ever-tenuous confidence; it IS the biggest city in NJ...shouldn't it at the very least retain a postmark?

I always look at mail to see where it originated...though, of course, this used to be more fun when people still wrote a lot of letters. People DO still write postcards...and I just got one yesterday, in fact. Postmarked...HONOLULU, HI!! Fun!!

Keep your head up, Newark!
