“Dear PoPville,
Well, USPS has opened the newly located post office in Dupont on Conn Ave, BUT it’s still called “Temple Heights,” just like at its former location, which isn’t an actual neighborhood in DC. Google that and you’ll see your own article. Why it’s not called Dupont Circle is laughable. (more…)

Thanks to Nick for sending the update: “Dupont Circle post office signage.”

Stay tuned for a post office opening date.

The text of the letter follows. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

ICYMI: “The USPS is proposing moving the Temple Heights location that just closed into the former Drybar spot” and “the east-end of the H Street corridor is also seeing a proposal for our post office to move”
Thanks to T. for sending the latest:
“I wanted to send along to you a mailer that I received about the post office at the Reeves Center. The moving of this location isn’t a big shocker since the Reeves Center is looking to be redeveloped.”
Stay tuned.
