“Big Problems Mount For Small Beaver County Town With No Mail Service”

HOMEWOOD BOROUGH, Pa. -- A small town without any mailboxes in Homewood Borough, Beaver County, hasn’t had any problems for more than a century, but that all changed a few weeks ago.
Now, those residents have to go to Beaver Falls to get their mail, but that's a problem for some of the elderly.

South Lake Union Transit riders are having trouble paying...

Payment on Seattle's new South Lake Union streetcar was supposed to be on the honor system, anyway.
But the honorable are having a tough time. The ticket machines often won't take the money.
Riders are to insert bills or coins into a machine in the center of the streetcar, then get a ticket to display in case a transit supervisor asks for proof of payment. The problem is, dollar bills are becoming stuck, preventing the next person from paying.
It happens "three or four times a day" per train, and operators haven't yet determined why, said Rochelle Ogershok, a spokeswoman for King County Metro Transit, which operates the $52 million, city-owned system.
At noon Wednesday, only one of five people who boarded the orange train at Westlake Avenue and Thomas Street could pay for the trip to Westlake Center. He used coins.
