From Blacksburg: The Path Of A Package

Over at our sibling blog, Primary Source, Laura Strickler has a fascinating nugget:

Cho Seung-Hui left his dormitory suite on Monday morning and headed to the Blacksburg Post Office on North Main Street armed with his package for NBC News.

It's a picturesque brick building built about 70 years ago with potted plants outside. Up the steps he walked in and rounded the corner to the counter. There, he found Susan Duarte, the only postal worker on duty.

She told CBS News it was busy and she did not remember him as much as she remembered his package, but not due to its contents, just the address. She had to look up the zip code for Rockefeller Plaza.

Read on for more about the path of the package. You may never view a trip to the post office the same way.
