Not one to wait till the last minute to do these types of things, I mailed my taxes on the way home from work today. Phew. One day early.
I mailed them at the downtown Phoenix post office. Though I ride by the downtown post office every morning on the way to work, I've never stopped to look at the building. From the outside it's a handsome facility—ancient by Phoenix standards.
Don't let the tree fool you. It's a post office.
But outside is as far as I went. I dropped my two envelopes in the mail drop in front of the building. To the right, just across Fillmore, is the Westward Ho building, another ancient Phoenix building.
According to Wikipedia, this was the tallest building in Arizona from 1928 to 1960. It's so tall it doesn't fit in my camera lens.
And completing my bike-around tour of the downtown post office is Civic Space Park, adjacent to the PO just south between the YMCA and the ASU downtown campus. I had to look up the name of this park on Google Maps, for in my mind it's called Big Fish Net Thing Park
.
Weird for the sake of weird—where is this? Bisbee?

Our family calls it used condom park.
I need to see this fish net park, it is hard to grasp its size by the picture -- not that the picture isn't great, it is.
Anonymous— Based on the porousness of the net… that explains the large size of your family.
Bobby et al.— Yep, it's big.
