For six months now, townsfolk in Winchester have been forced to drive miles away to get their mail after the area’s only post office shut down. The Winchester Post Office closed after city inspectors found mold in the building, and it wasn’t up to code, according to Mayor Virginia Winsor. After the property owner wouldn’t fix the issues, the city condemned the building. Everyone in the town then had to drive 10 miles to the Oskaloosa Post Office to pick up their mail. According to federal law, the U.S. Postal Service is expected to “provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities.” But for some of the 578 people living in Winchester, they say that is not the case.
