Ray Charles Commemorated in Post Office Form
By Ron - Thursday July 28th 2005
Like many others Americans I associate the name Ray Charles not with legendary soul music, but with tolerable mail delivery speed and adequate package tracking. So it’s only logical that a bill to officially rename the post office at 4960 W. Washington Blvd the “Ray Charles Post Office” was signed by President Bush on July 12. This replaces the current name for the building commonly referred to as “the post office by Good Day Donuts.”
The Ray Charles Post Office joins other celebrity-named LA buildings such as the Winona Ryder Saks Fifth Avenue, the OJ Simpson McDonalds and the Burt Reynolds Starbucks.
The official naming ceremony will take place at 2PM on Wednesday, Aug. 24. Last collection at 5:20 PM.
