The Terminal Annex Post Office (1 Viewer)

[Johannes]

Was reading about the Terminal Annex where Bukowski worked from 1958-1969 and found this, from Wikipedia:

"In 1970, a postal supervisor was shot and killed at the Terminal Annex by a disgruntled postal clerk. After the supervisor ordered the clerk to leave work for intoxication, the clerk waited outside the annex and shot the supervisor in the back three times as the supervisor ran toward the security desk, calling for help."

:oo

Seemed to be a rather rough Post Office all over, Bukowski obviously did not have to apply much poetic license. Like what the fuck?

"In 1954, two veteran postal employees were charged with being the ringleaders of two large bookmaking operations operating out of the Terminal Annex. Investigators alleged that 10-15 other employees were involved in the operations."

"In 1986, 12 postal workers employed at the Terminal Annex were charged as alleged pushers of both powder and rock cocaine."

I wonder why it made me think of Bukowski. :p
