The 18,000-square-foot post office at 41 Wheeler Ave. has reopened more that 2 years after the 5.8 magnitude earthquake of June 28, 1991 forced its closure.
A cooperative effort between the Arcadia Red Cross, Post Office and Police Department has resulted in an innovative program for special need individuals called, "Hey, Mr. Postman, check on me."
More than seven months after Arcadia's post office was damaged in the Sierra Madre quake, it remains shored up by wooden beams. Preliminary plans for renovation have been developed.
