I had a letter to mail that I thought might need extra postage due to its weight. So while I was…read moreout running errands, I stopped by this USPS. It's not my hometown post office, so it was a first time visit. The young man working the counter provided top notch customer service. As soon as I entered, he greeted me with a perky hello and what can I help you with. I handed him my envelope and told him I wanted to check its postage. He tossed it on the postal scale and to my surprise it was still the right weight for a Forever stamp. The gentleman was chatty and it was fun talking with him while he provided his services. After getting my letter mailed, I checked out the lobby. It was clean and well maintained. As I snooped around I could hear the young man assisting the couple that was behind me and his professionalism should be commended. When: February 19, 2026 Why: Mailing a letter

Oh my stars I am struggling to find something nice to say about this post office. I am trying to…read moreapply for a bulk mailing permit for my work. The first time I walked in, I was told that only one person could help me with my request and she was at lunch. So I waited and I waited. Finally SHE arrived. I informed her of my request, she handed me a ton of paperwork, Okay I understand it is a process. In the mean time, not one of the other employees walked over to learn the process. So I guess she has job security or she can never die. While I was waiting, a few of the patrons were told that they did not have envelopes. I am sorry I thought I was in the post office. Next attempt, once again no one would help me but my assigned person. Once again the other two postal employees did not step forward to learn the process. I turned in my paperwork, only to get a phone call that I need additional paperwork. Today was my third visit. My person was not at the post office. I left my paperwork with one of the nobodys. I hope she gets it. I guess postal employees have no competition and customer service is not a priority.

I'm a graduate of Southwestern High School and the Piasa Bird was our mascot. So the Piasa Bird has a special place in my heart. Growing up in the area, I remember another location of the bird being painted on the bluffs. It was sit back further from the road, so this present day location is more tourist friendly. When visiting the Alton and Grafton area, it is worth a stop to view the painting and to read the legend of the mighty, mighty Piasa Bird.

If you can drive one through the locks, you may have a new career. When I tried, I wrecked my barge. Once I took the tour of the locks and dam and saw how narrow the locks actually are, I can saw why I wrecked. Tours are given at 10 AM, 1 PM and 3 PM and they're free. The views are amazing. Being 80 feet above the river, you'll love the view. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to see a barge of a boat going through one of the locks. The Lock and Dam is not a tourist attraction that you visit just once, every time you visit, it is a different experience.

Statues of Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln bring out a full picture of that event which took place on October 15, 1858. It was the seventh and final debate between the two men. Stephen Douglas was an incumbent Democrat who believed in state's rights, while a then-unknown Abraham Lincoln (a Whig-turned-Republican) argued that the United States can no longer survive on both slavery and free states. At the time, more than 5,000 people showed up. Lincoln lost to Douglas in the Senate race that year. He would eventually beat Douglas for the 1860 Presidency. Hopefully, you know what happened as a result of Lincoln's win. This is one of Alton's greatest historical landmarks, as one would know that the city pays great tribute to its heritage. Just outside the .25 acre square you'll find kiosks that talk about the event and how it shaped history. Also, from Thanksgiving (or last week of November) to Christmas, there is a huge Christmas tree planted between the statues. It is beautiful at night.
