Used work for the Wakefield Post Office around 1999. Only lasted a year. Awful job, for the most part.

Wakefield, apparently, was once largely Italian. Most of the Postal workers were still Italian and many, many old timers in the neighborhood were Italian. On White Plains road there was a storefront simply called "Espresso". It never got any mail and was always closed. One day I saw it open, full of old Italian guys. The clerks were talking about a guy named "Mongo" who used to run the neighborhood.

Also did express mail on Sundays in Woodlawn. Love that neighborhood. Katonah and McClean are like an Irish village.

Bronx is probably my favorite borough. The topography is really interesting, lots of hills and winding streets. The Bronx River. Just a cool place, though I wasn't in the really bad part or during the really bad years.
