@JudyEv Yes, it's still an active post office. We used to go by it when we went into the Everglades.

That is so cute branch. I was surprise to see that it was actually a childcare center for a while.

@Ineeddentures @id_peace Sorry. A child care centre in those days was where Mums took their new babies to be weighed and to get advice if they needed it. The kids didn't spend time there being cared for.

@JudyEv Ah We are mistaken, it is more like the health check centre for the babies.

What a dinky bank! Honestly the way all the bank branches are closing over here, I'd be delighted to have a tiny bank like that anywhere within a few miles!

@vandana7 Here the bank basically persuade customers to do everything online, and even when you go to a branch they steer you towards using one of their machines. Then they say 'Oh no-one comes to the branch in person any more' and they close it. Now people face a round trip of 30 miles or more just to pay in a cheque. We used to have four branches of my main bank in the town centre and another four around the outskirts plus others in the nearby towns (three or four miles away), it was easy to pop into a bank wherever you were. Now only one of those ten or so is left and they do everything to avoid letting you see a real person.

Our banks are closing left, right and centre too. Many of our small towns no longer have a bank at all.

Not quite as small, but you see, or used to see, in rural villages little banks that only opened one or two days a week. With the rise of electronic banking, many seem to have closed

Dozens of our country branches have closed. It's a shame really as not everyone is into internet banking or anything else internet-wise.

@Ronrybs You just about have to get the hang of it as it's not going to change - at least not backwards. Dozens of times I've seen 'for more information, go to our website'. And then sometimes the websites won't work properly.

It still cares now for the customers instead of toddlers. Though small, it carries a punch as it is part of a big bank. I can see Bank West on the signboard, so I hope it is still functioning.
