The present owner of Hall-Benedict has gutted this once great pharmacy. CVS and Walgreen's are more people friendly and customer oriented. It was a sad loss of a great neighborhood resource when Jack took over. I know that Tom, the previous owner, was quite upset to see how Jack dismantled Hall-Benedict.

Jim, the post office did not close this facility due to lack of funds. The branch was closed due to the death of the stores owner, Jack.

Please save us from Brewery St!

Wait, what, when??

I also heard this morning that the Post Office was closed due to the fact that the owner of Hall-Benedict died and now the accounts need to be switched. They'll probably reopen it but give them time.
