Yes, i think you are right, Faldage-- (oh and by the by, before i forget--it's coming up to the new year isn't it? Happy New Year)
NYC is made up of 5 NYstate counties-- NY county (manhattan) Kings county(Brooklyn) Richmond county (Staten Island, Queens county and Bronx county. the only "towns" that survive are on a federal level--
every county, (in NYC) has 1 "Central Post Office" and 1 Post master general-- except for Queens- Queens county had 3 town, each with its own "central PostOffice, and post master general-- before it joined NYC, and it still does! the three "towns" are Long Island City, Flushing, and Jamaca. So there are 3 major zip code groups for queens 112, 113,114-- Manhattan has 2, 100 and 101-- but 101 is really a building code-- some building in NY are large enough to get there own zip code.. and then 101 is used--
There has been for years, talk of 1 central post office for queens-- but Post master general is an appointed postition-- out side the reach of civil service-- no one want to lose the "patronage" job--.
