Daytona Beach florida post office to close?

Daytona Beach florida post office to close?

I received a letter from the post office indicating the Daytona Beach Florida post office at 500 Bill France Blvd was recommended to close by a study being done to try to save money.  Then this morning a Headline in the Daytona Beach News-Journal indicated the same thing.  The closure would mean the loss of over 100 local jobs, the Daytona Beach postmark, next day local delivery and possible mail delays.  There is a public hearing to accept public input on the proposed closure scheduled for Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 7 PM at the Plaza hotel, 600 N Atlantic Ave., in Daytona Beach.  Public comments may also be submitted to: Manager Consumer affairs
North Florida District
PO Box 40005
Jacksonville Fl 32203-0005
My letter also indicated that for questions about the AMP (Area Mail Processing) proposal contact the Business Service Network at 866-882-9367.

Betty's A1A Cafe in Ormond By The Sea Florida

We don't go out to eat much but when we have visitors............ anyway on Thursday, Sept 16, 2010 when 2 of my wife's sisters were in town with their husbands we went to Betty's A1A Cafe in Ormond By The Sea Florida.  The waitress volunteered to snap a photo of the group. 

Everyone had something different and we were all very pleased with the service and the food.  An assortment of entrees was ordered and enjoyed including fried haddock, chicken tenders, seafood platter and chopped sirloin platter.  I would recomend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Why Do I Need An Ormond By The Sea Florida Specialist

Why Do I Need An Ormond By The Sea Florida Specialist

Why Do I Need An Ormond By The Sea Florida Specialist to buy or rent a home or condo? The short answer is that Residential Real Estate is local in nature. Prices and values vary greatly from one location to another as do Real Estate markets and practices. Ocean View Realty Group limits the area where we practice so that we can better serve our customers and clients. Ocean View Realty Group opened its office on Ocean Shore Blvd., (A1A) in 1991 and has helped hundreds of buyers, sellers, owners and renters with Ormond By The Sea Florida Real Estate transactions.  People quite often avoid using a Specialist because in many businesses Specialists cost more. This is not true in Real Estate.  Unless you sign a contract with a Realtor for representation and Compensation, you pay nothing – the Realtor commission is paid by the seller at closing out of the proceeds of the sale. 

Ocean View Realty Group has become a local expert in Ormond By The Sea homes and condos through our sales and rental activities.  If you are considering buying, selling or renting in Ormond By The Sea Florida Please allow Ocean View Realty Group the opportunity to provide guidance in the process.
