Every August, the number of students
moving in and out of town affects many
different businesses, but one you might
not think of is the United States Postal
Service.
With the mass influx of students to
Athens, the mail gets backed up for three
to five days, said Patricia Bruce, a
window clerk at the branch on Olympic
Drive.
To ease this process, Bruce recommends
students submit a change of address card
every time they move.
“Even if they move from one apartment to
the one right next door, they need to fill out
a change of address, or their mail won’t be
able to find them,” she said.
There are five post offices in Athens. One
is located in the Alps Shopping Center at
196 Alps Road, Suite 48. Another is located
at 3700 Atlanta Highway, Suite 135, in the
Georgia Square Mall.
A third and fourth are located at 1695
South Lumpkin St. and 575 Olympic Drive,
respectively, while the fifth one is the post
office located on the first floor of the Tate
Student Center.
CHESS: Game teaches many skills

involving all of the alternative schools
throughout Georgia,” Jones said.
Such a deep community effort hasn’t
been witnessed in almost a decade, when
public schools would bring countless
regional and state championships back to
Athens.
“It’s hard enough to teach kids skills like
sportsmanship and critical thinking,” said
Daniel Martin, a sophomore from Athens.
“But chess can do all of that for you; and
much, much more.”
