Alright, so I walked down there, it's a group of three stores a few feet away from the corner of Market and Castro. One of the stores is indeed a UPS package store with Mailbox service.
I took a few pictures with my cell phone in case anyone is curious.
America is amazingly lazy about these sort of issues and just as we like junk food and instant gratification, we expect our politics to be the same. Take for example Internet Petitionshttp://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/in ternet.htm.
We like to bitch but never do anything about it. If anything demonstrates this more, it's the 50% voter turnout. We've become an fat, lazy, apathetic nation and as long as it doesn't directly effect "me" we could care less about it. Democracy and the free market require an involved public. How many people have called their representatives recently? Mailed (not emailed) a hand written letter about a subject? Gotten involved in a campaign or cause? Wrote a check? Obviously not many.
The backlash against the FCC last time was an anomaly, and I see no evidence to the contrary. Unless America gets off it's collective duff, we better get used to seeing the umpteenth iteration of Survivor on prime-time and stories about Brittany's seventh marriage as the top headline in the news.

But luckily I live 2 blocks away from 2370 Market, and need to get some stuff at the grocery store so I'll walk by and report back.
