WNTN in Auburndale

[David Tomm]

I used to go to the Lower Falls Post Office all the time when I lived 
in Wellesley, since it's very close to the line.  For me it was closer 
to get to and more convenient than the Wellesley Hills post office on 
the corner of Cliff Rd. and Washington St.  I know Waban has one,  and 
would assume some of the bigger villages like Chestnut Hill, Auburndale 
and Newtonville should have post offices as well.  I'm not sure about 
the rest.
