In Their Own Words: Rally to Save the Pitt Station Post Office

Lower East Side residents and elected officials came out yesterday to urge the United States Postal Service to keep the Pitt Station Post Office open. The small Clinton Street office is on a list of 271 locations nationwide in jeopardy of being shut down. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, State Sen. Dan Squadron, City Councilmember-elect Margaret Chin and Seward Park Co-op President Michael Tumminia were among those speaking at a large midday rally.
