BIZWATCH: PENARTH POST OFFICE LAUNCHES INSTANT-PHOTO SERVICE
The new photo booth in Penarth Post Office
A new DIY photo-booth set up this month in Penarth Post Office in Glebe St is reportedly attracting plenty of business from local customers.
The “Photo-Me “Booth is located inside the Post Office where the abortive – and long-since dismantled – e-cigarettes counter once used to stand.
Since the closure of Dawson Strange Photography in Windsor Arcade the only town-centre option for people wanting passport pictures or ID photos taken in Penarth has been the personal photographic portrait-service provided at Kitchener and Thomas – which continues to thrive.
Customers can choose between passport-style photos and “fun photos”
However now, for people who would rather do it themselves – the Photo-Me franchise at the Post Office offers a DIY alternative. There’s an adjustable stool to get the height right and customers can see what they look like on the built-in screen and check…

“the use of the post-office is in her own hands” – Anthony Trollope, Pillar Boxes, and Love Letters
Anthony Trollope invented the pillar-box, and then regretted it. That’s one of those facts which has been at the back of my mental library for a while: I couldn’t quite remember where I’d read it. But, like Browning and his dictionary, or Tennyson and his pint of cream, it’s one of the little vignettes which popped up whenever I was thinking about nineteenth-century literature.
He regretted it, goes the story, because it allowed young women to correspond with men without having to take the letter to a male relative to have it franked and sent by post. Like the railway which enabled Lady Audley to get up to all sorts of dastardly things and be back in time to look innocent, it was a technological advance which threatened a particular moral framework. My tutor used to say you didn’t understand nineteenth-century literature and mentality properly until you’d thought long and…

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. NO SALE OF OUR POST OFFICE!
“Berkeley’s Main Post Office building belongs to the people.”
Dear Berkeley Mayor and City Council,
We of Berkeley Post Office Defense (BPOD) are grateful to the City of Berkeley and its pro bono legal representative attorney Tony Rossmann, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, for suing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) over USPS’ ongoing attempt to sell Berkeley’s Main Post Office building and relocate its services against the will of the community. We are grateful, too, to Save the Berkeley Post Office and the National Post Office Collaborate for helping to set the suit in motion and for organizing the public meeting February 19, 2015 that shared information about it with the community.
At that meeting, Mr. Rossmann stated that the City’s position is that the sale of the Post Office should be stopped, a position we share entirely. He also stated, however, that if necessary, the City might be…

STATEMENT ON THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION REPORT TO CONGRESS AS IT EFFECTS THE BERKELEY POST OFFICE
BERKELEY POST OFFICE DEFENDERS STATEMENT ON THE ADVISORY COUNCIL’S HISTORIC PRESERVATION REPORT TO CONGRESS AS IT AFFECTS THE BERKELEY POST OFFICE SALE AND THE SALE OF OTHER SUCH HISTORIC POSTAL BUILDINGS.
On April 17th, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation issued its Preserving Historic Post Offices report to Congress “on compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for the closure and disposal of its historic postal facilities.” This report was requested by legislation initiated by Berkeley’s United States Representative in Congress Barbara Lee.
The report tells us some that is new, and much that we already know from Berkeley’s experience attempting to interact with Postal Service management. We are well aware that they refuse to care about the community’s concerns – when they deign to listen at all (public meetings attended by hundreds of Berkeley residents in near-universal opposition to the sale of Berkeley’s Post Office whose voices were totally…
