No Mail Delivery Home for Amarillo Residents
Amarillo residents on the 4400 block of S Kingston face a year or more without home mail delivery due to the Post Office rule that areas must be 30 percent developed before mail to homes is allowed.

The dispute highlights differing interpretations of what constitutes a block and when home delivery can begin.
