Show Ten O'Clock Whistle by David Flelsher the list.... Park City's post office is a rather impressive looking building. In fact, as you ride up or down Main Street, the post office seems to stand out. Your eyes are immediately drawn to it. The designers did a good job on that building. And the inside of the post office is nice. A lot of people go there, not so much to get their mail, but to hang around and kibbitz with their neighbors. It's airy inside and the many windows allow for a good view of Main Street. The post office is a perfect place to go to warm up on snowy days. But one thing has got to change. From a visitor or business standpoint, it's uncomfortable to have the FBI's Most Wanted list next to the front door. I've seen many people go by that horrible list on their way out, stare at it, and leave. It doesn't leave you with fond memories of the post office after seeing criminals on the wall. It's hard to say why people look at the list. Maybe because it is so vulnerable; I mean, it's right there in full view. You can't miss it. Those ugly people look at you, even if you don't look back, just before you are about to leave the post office. I for one do not want to have to think about the most wanted criminals in the country after I pick up my mail. I'd rather think about something more pleasant-like snow and skiing. I'd even rather think about filling out my income taxes than people with bad records. Maybe there's a law that states you have to put the bad people on the wall in full view of everyone. It would make sense because, who knows, you might run into one of them on the golf course and it would be necessary to know what they look like. But none of those big criminals would come to Park City, except for possibly Theodore Bundy. I think the FBI list should be relocated somewhere else, anywhere, just out of the way of the front door. The way it is now, it's like close encounters of the obscene kind. Maybe the list could go on the ceiling so you would have to strain to see it. And the new ceiling location would not discriminate against anyone who wants to see it. But at least if the list were put on the ceiling, it would not interfere with most normal people who have no interest in staring at bad people. People should not be forced to look at something they don't want to look at. It is a matter of individual rights. So strip the FBI list down from the front wall and put up flowers, or better yet, a picture of Park City in the early days. But get rid of the bad guys. I just figured out why the post office is closed on Sunday. Who in their right mind would want to mix with criminals on Sunday, of all days. , As I walk up Main Street, thinking of Al Capone, I hear the Ten O'Clock Whistle. |
