I am the last of the four
I am the start of a route
no Drummonds deliver my mail yet I receive and send mail
I am the 32963 whose serves all of the beach ,but indian river shores and city of orchid island
yet we all are 32963
once there were three more
one in gifford
one in wabasso
one in winter beach

I remember there was a tiny Post Office in San Dia Texas where everyone in town had a PO Box. No home delivery. That was many decades ago. The phones were all party lines too.

there's one about the size of a shed

Smallest Post Office in the United States, Ochopee, Florida

Was an old farm irrigation pipe shed pressed into civil service in 1953. Not recommended for the claustrophobic.
