With the sixth largest population in Rhode Island, the northeastern city of Woonsocket is home to 41,500 residents. It has two Post Office branches -- the main/larger facility on Social Street and this location at Walnut Hill Plaza which is adjacent to the state border with Massachusetts.

The shopping center has a large parking lot, so visitors can easily drive to the site. The one main door leads directly into a lobby with a service counter to the right and wide hall to the left with post office boxes. The decor is utilitarian with no particular highlights. About the only thing that stands out is the fact that this branch closes for a one-hour lunch break from 12:30 - 1:30pm every day.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
