Newtown Square P.O to Relocate?

The County Press is reporting that the Newtown Square post office is relocating.

This came as quite a shock to its landlord George Spaeder, who is in midst of negotiating a new lease with Rufus Hambright, Real Estate Specialist, Eastern Facilities Services Office with the U.S. Postal Service.

In fact, the Postal Service has an offer on the table to renew the lease for 5 years, according to an e-mail from Hambright to Spaeder.

The County Press says:
According to U.S. Postal Service spokesperson Cathy Yarosky, they have not been able to come to an agreement with the landlord on a new lease.
But that makes it sound as if negotiations have broken off, when they haven't at all, according to Spaeder.

The lease is up May 1. Plenty of time to come up with a new lease or not. If the Postal Service can find a better, cheaper location says Spaeder, more power to them. But he sees no reason why the office won't stay right where it is.

In any case, the Press' headline: Newtown Square P.O. to Relocate, should, at the very least have had a question mark at the end of it.
