April 15: Tax Day 2009

It's April 15, and that means Tax Day... Americans, did we all file our taxes on time? Hmm? If you're anything like me, it's still far from a done deal, and you're looking for which posts are open late. We at NowPublic got your back, with a USPS link to post offices open late on tax day.

You'll notice that very few are extending their hours, which A) sucks, and B) is a result of more and more people filing their taxes online. (In my old neighborhood, I'd have been totally out of luck, with the latest closing time listed as 6:30pm)

If in any doubt, assume that your local post office will not be open at midnight! After frantically dropping your hastily-assembled tax package in the slot mere moments before the post-office gate slams shut, you can relax and treat yourself to dinner, since lots of restaurants are offering "tax day specials".

Personally, I'm a ranking master in the lost art of forget-to-fill-out-the-crucial-form-fu.
