Central Los Angeles : South Bay : Postal Station Saved From Closure

The neighborhood post office in Rolling Hills Estates will stay open, postal officials decided after residents begged them not to close the city landmark.

Postal Service spokesman Larry Dozier said the decision to keep the facility open came partly because of widespread community opposition to the closure. He said the Los Angeles district headquarters received scores of letters and calls imploring officials to reconsider their plans.

Substation owner Pauline Becker said the lease agreement will not change and postal services will continue to be provided at the old store, which also is home to an equestrian shop and a deli.
