A resident reader of the blog, Brian Schwartz, asked me a question about why the mail boxes in the newer subdivisions were on one side of the street and in clusters. Communities such as Vernon Hills do not. While I thought I knew the answer right away I double checked with our village planners and then with the United States Post Office. I can tell you that the USPS is encouraging mailbox clusters on specific sides of the street to facilitate delivery for the postman or postwomen and make the routes more efficient. Which I assume is make the delivery person cover a bigger area in the same amount of time.
