Yep! I drive right on up the road and look for the sign so I know which building to go to. The sign probably isn't necessary since there is only one mail center in the area and it looks different than a house or a rec center. But still, a sign is nice.

Then I get out of my car and stand in front of a wall of over 300 identical doors. Sure, by now I know the general location of my door so that narrows it down a bit. I should remember the number but I don't. But the little sign (sticker) on the door helps me find the right door.

I guess the sticker is just like the sign on the road that helps me find the right building except there is only one building to choose from but over 300 doors.


EDIT: Oops! Turns out my neighborhood pool has a sign and the postal station just hangs off the parking lot.
