One strange thing about Strathmore:  they have a main post office and a postal outlet in a drug store.  Instead of being on opposite sides of the town, which would seem logical for better customer service, the outlet is two doors down across the intersection from the main post office.   Hardly worth the trouble, one would think.  It reminds me of Calgary's outlets in Bridlewood and Evergreen, which are two blocks apart.
