Chicago mail delivery Worst in the Nation

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Some days, the mail arrives at Donald Lawson's home in Beverly as late as 11:30 at night. His mailman shows up wearing a lighted helmet. That's on the days when Lawson's mail shows up at all.

David Allen has had delivery problems of his own. The Northwest Side resident suffered along with his dog Tiger when the German shepherd's anti-diarrheal medication arrived 11 days after it was postmarked -- from his veterinarian's office only 15 blocks away.
Chicago has it all.High retail and property taxes,cold weather,bad public schools,and mail deliver you just can't compete with.
