Chicago to lose last 24-hour post office

Sun-Times:
Beginning June 6, the downtown Chicago location at 433 W. Harrison St. will be open only from 7:30 a.m. to midnight seven days a week, said Mark Reynolds, a U.S. Postal Service spokesman.

But if you want to mail packages at 2 or 3 a.m., you'll still be able to use an automated, self-service center at the Harrison Street location.

Chicago had been the last city in the United States with a 24-hour window staffed by postal workers. New York City closed its last round-the-clock post office earlier this month.
