Please read today’s post title in the voice of Jan C. Gabriel, the Chicago-area motorsport announcer who is best known for popularizing this ubiquitous motorsport phrase.
Today’s sunrise was set for just after 7:30 AM, so I set my alarm for seven o’clock. Unfortunately I woke fully up at around quarter to six. So, I brushed my teeth, packed up and got in the car. The first 2 post office were photographed in pretty much in the dark. Not really an issue, during the South Carolina post office roundup I took around a dozen in the dark and several more at dusk or dawn, and I kind of really like them.

- Salem – I set the alarm for 7:00 AM, but I woke up at quarter to six, so I got up and got going. This is Salem’s main Post Office and 1 of 4 with the Zip Code of 97301. (12/8/24)
-
- Vista Station – It was still dark for this Post Office and I cold have used the other photo I took, but I liked being able to put the sign in the shot. (12/8/24)
-
- Pringle Park Plaza – The sun was up enough now, but mostly because I had breakfast between post office #2 of the day and this one. (12/8/24)
-
- West Salem – This post office was right on the other side of the Willamette River, so it was a quick bridge crossing back and forth. (12/8/24)
-
- Hollywood – When you say Hollywood, CA I think movie stars, but when you say Hollywood, OR I’ll think homeless people living in a rat-trap looking RV that is parked off frame to the right. (12/8/24)
-
- Salem Hollywood DCU – The last of the seven Salem Post Offices. Time to head north and home. (12/8/24)
-
- Donald – This town of around a thousand people must all sleep in on Sundays until it was time to go to church because there was no a soul stirring at 10 minutes to nine in the morning. (12/8/24)
