I absolutely detest waiting in the ridiculously long lines at the post office, for example, the big one on Dearborn and Clark. They have to have an electric sign to flash in your face and point you in the right direction every 45 minutes so you know which of their 900 clerk windows to go to. But I've found something better. Actually, I've known about it for a while, but I'm going to spill the beans and share my secret with you all. On the Wabash entrance side (2nd floor) of the Carson Pirie Scott building is the tiniest, cutest post office you'll ever see, but definitely the best. Although they only take cash and cannot do "big post office" things like cash money orders and overnight packages, they have the sweetest employees and NO LINES. They are also affixed to a Ticketmaster, gift-wrapping service, and dry cleaners to fulfill all your needs in one spot. Stay tuned for the next episode of Hidden Treasures.
