Floridians try nutty way to save post office

Published: October 29, 2009
WASHINGTON - The folks in Lantana think the Postal Service would have to be nuts to close their post office and they're trying a coco-nutty way to prove it.
Lantana's post office is one of more than 350 being studied for closure and residents have been mailing coconuts to Postmaster General John Potter along with requests that he spare their office.
It costs about $4 to mail a coconut, and postal officials said they have received a few hundred of the tropical nuts, which are being donated to a local food bank.
Officials had no comment today on the future of the Lantana office.
