Like people had paper signs taped to their door for the mailman. His office had some little sign that said Probstein Enterptrises or something. Presumably this was his shipping hub. I rang the bell a few times and eventually I was greeted by a friendly Mexican or Central American girl, maybe 20 years old, who made clear to me quickly that she didn't speak a word of English. Finally I got "Gehrig photograph" across and she left and came back and handed me the photo with a post in on it. All worked out well but was certainly a hell of a weird experience.
