Down to one church. Population for the area dropped below 300 last census. We still have two fire hydrants, doubt they will be closing. I tell people that we had a library when I was a kid but one day they loaded it on a flatbed truck and hauled it away (true story) so I guess it has been downsizing for a long time.

They became profitable enough they kept them open. Our realtor called and told us I saved the Post Office. The same thing happened back when I lived in Dayton, when I found a Post Office, that had no wait and started shipping from there instead of the busy one I had been shipping through. It was supposed to close and then stayed open. If you can get more business going through the Post Office, it will stay open. Keith

Sound very familiar with small town across the US. The only business booming in small town is the cemeteries. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
