A Manhattan Post Office Is the Only Address Some People Have

[britwrit]

Here's an article not really about the United States Postal Service but still kinda interesting....

The men and women start lining up around 9:45 a.m. along an imposing gray wall of the James A. Farley Post Office, that grand
Manhattan landmark with sweeping front steps and soaring columns facing Eighth Avenue.
But they do not see this postcard view, for they are waiting outside the back door — on Ninth Avenue. They chat like neighbors
who bump into one another at the mailboxes, which, in a way, they are. For while they live scattered all over town, sleeping in
shelters or stoops or sidewalks, they share the same mailing address: 390 Ninth Avenue, the general delivery window of the city’s
main post office.
