This week I went to my local post office to mail a gift for my grandmother. Last week I was really upset when I couldn’t get into the
Taunton U.S. Post Office to apply for my passport because it has no wheelchair accessible entrance. I was really pleased to find Middleborough’s Post Office more wheelchair friendly and accessible.
This U.S. Post office has a wide cement ramp that leads to fron t entrance. The door is not automatic so Ric held it opened while Tony pushed my manual wheelchair inside. It would be a lot easier if they had an automatic door. I approached the customer service counter. The Postal worker was very courteous, kind and helpful to me.
I give the Middleboro Post Office FOUR STARS for wheelchair accessibility. They could earn the Fifth Star if they installed an automatic entry door so a person in a wheelchair can independently enter this Post Office.

I will do everything I can to get something like this installed. I am very happy that our clerks treated you so well. Let’s see what I can do about that 5th star.

Hi Frank,
That is wonderful. Automatic doors are so important and help enable us to be more independent.
Thank you!

Oscar,
Can you email us at kennytraveling@aol.com and let us know what Post Office near you isn’t accessible? If it isn’t too far away, maybe we can go there to write a review OR if you want to email us a review, please do. Just include the name and address of the Post Office and we will be happy to post it for you on our site. We’ll state it is a review written by Oscar. But don’t forget to mention how you were treated for it is really important to me that we are all treated as human beings!

I sent my last message too soon and don’t know how to edit it. Sorry. I have reported the problems of my post office and nothing has been done to fix it. I have to take a bus to get to the post in the next town when I need to do something at the post office. The PO out of town is accessible but a real hassle as I’m sure you can understand. If I have time I will try and get back to my towns PO to do a review of the place and maybe you can post it. I hope it helps.

Oscar, I would be happy to post your review of your local post office. I think all post offices should be fully accessible. Maybe we can all help make this possible. Kenny
