Hoffman Estates Illinois Post Office

ADDRESS: 1255 Gannon Dr., Hoffman Estates, Illinois 60169

The Hoffman Estates Post Office was another visit during December 2011. It was a Sunday and not much was going on. So we decided to take a drive. We ended up stopping here along with several others on our way home.

It was oddly busy for a Sunday. Every time one car would leave the front another car would pull up and obstruct my shot. I remember waiting around a long time to get clear shots of the building. I finally gave up and moved so the light post blocked the only car in the parking lot. Such is life as a photographer of post office.

Thanks,

I initially visited the Northbrook IL Post Office in December of 2011. It’s a rather large building and was a bit of challenge to get the entire building in one photo. It started getting dark as I rolled into the parking lot so I hurried to set up my camera. One benefit is the color of this one is kind of interesting.

Thanks,

For some reason I never got around to posting this one. I actually visited this during the winter of 2011. So while I was browsing through my photos trying to figure out which ones I still needed to publish, I came across this one.

It was a cold day in December when we visited. It was also very busy when we where here. I think it was a Saturday or something because the parking lot was full of cars.

I do remember waiting a while to get a good picture of the building. Since we were not in any hurry I stood on my car and waited for the perfect shot. I actually didn’t even realize how ridiculous I must have looked because several people stopped and looked at me kind of funny.  They must think I’m a freak! at least this is what I was telling myself.

Thanks,
