Now is not the time to run out of stamps. On Friday, I stood in line at the Charles A. Hayes post office on the South Side for over a half hour waiting for service.
I was already disgusted since we hadn’t gotten any mail for three days.
After 20 minutes, I could feel the tensions as a dozen or so people waited and waited and waited. Most suffered in silence. Several gave up and left, shaking their heads.
The truly ticked-off complained out loud about missing packages, no mail deliveries and empty P.O. boxes.

CHICAGO Celebrate International Workers Day with a HotHouse special online cultural program featuring Jon Langford & Sally Timms, Marvin Tate, and Bill MacKay, plus shout-outs from activists in the labor movement.
Jon Langford and Sally Timms have been performing together in and around U.K. Punk Rock band the Mekons since the early 1980s. This acoustic duo situation is most likely born of pandemic necessity because they prize collaboration above all else and love to work with other writers, artists, and musicians like Vito Acconci, Kathy Acker, Roger Knox, The Sadies, Will Oldham, Greil Marcus, Johnny Dowd, Lee Scratch Perry, Freakwater, The Magnetic Fields, Handsome Family, and many more.
