Can you guess why I choose to post this one today? Oh man you guessed right. Today is Columbus Day. and what do I have for you today? The Columbus Wisconsin Post Office. I made a special trip just to view this one. I had some extra time one Saturday in July of 2013 and figured what the heck. Let’s drive to Columbus. So here I am admiring this wonderful post office and mural.
Happy Columbus Day!!!!
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
