The price of stamps is going up and we want to know what you think.
The price of stamps at your local post office will be slightly higher beginning Jan. 22. A U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Forever stamp will increase by one cent, from 44 to 45 cents starting Sunday, according to the U.S. government-run USA.gov. The article cites that the increase is the first on Forever stamps in two and a half years. Postmaster General Patrick Donahue said in a statement on the USPS website that the increase is “small” and is necessary “to help address our current financial crisis.” Forever stamps, once purchased by a consumer, are always good and lock in the initial price paid. Do you still use stamps? Let us know what you think of the price increase in the comment section below and if it will affect you.

Today, the U.S. Postal Service released a list of more than 600 post offices that may be closed over the next several months in an effort to cut costs. With so many alternatives to "snail mail" these days—from e-mail to Facebook to Twitter to Skype—for many, a visit to the post office is a thing of the past. Needham has two post offices in town—at 1150 Great Plain Ave. and at 844 Highland Ave. Neither of the local post offices were included on the list of locations slated for "full study," which was released by the U.S. Postal Service this morning, though the list included eight offices in the Boston area (see the PDF at right for the complete list). For the Question of the Day, we want to know: When was the last time you visited a post …
