The post office at Friendly Center in Greensboro is an alcohol-free version of Boston’s “Cheers Bar.” As we stood in line yesterday, on one of the postally-busiest days of the year, people chatted about the usual– the details of each other’s lives and the Christmas light displays on Ridgeway Avenue. Oh, and the employees are friendly too. As a matter of fact, they learn a great deal about you by your mail. Picking up a 30-day diet plan? Next time you are at 610 Pembroke, you just may be asked, “How’s the diet going? If you are returning a J. Crew sweater, don’t be surprised if you are asked, “Didn’t it fit.. or did you just not like the color?” Or, you might even be reminded that we have a J.Crew Store at Friendly Center now! You can share as much as you want or be as quiet as you wish!

If you need to mail that last minute package and want a jolly adventure, head on over to the post office at Friendly Center. By the way, rumor has it the same service is available at the Groometown/High Point Road branch!
