Dream Cruise Snapshot: Postal Service Plays Hide the Mailboxes
Covers come off Monday, when normalcy replaces congestion.
Woodward Dream Cruise does something neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet can do: It keeps mail pickup vehicles from their appointed rounds.

Unmarked green covers are draped over the familiar blue boxes on East Maple and Old Woodward, including those outside , Seger People, and 555 South Old Woodward.
