“Norton Receives USPS Response to Her Letter on Delayed & Undelivered Mail in All Eight D.C. Wards”

By Prince Of Petworth

From the Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:

“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) received a response to her most recent letter to the United States Postal Service (USPS) about delayed and undelivered mail in the District of Columbia. In her September 1, 2021, letter, Norton noted that all eight wards continue to contact her office about late and undelivered mail. USPS described several actions it is taking. Norton said she will continue monitoring USPS in D.C. for the effects of the promised improvements.

Norton’s letter and USPS response follow. (more…)

Last Christmas Card in Town

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to James for sending: “My partner and I live in SW DC, and my sister lives in Ballston. She kindly mailed us a Holiday card on December 16, 2020, and it was JUST returned to her (August 18, 2021) because it was “not deliverable as addressed.” She has mailed things to that address more than once, so why wasn’t it delivered? And where has it been for 8 months??”

Last Christmas Card in Town is brought to you by the Friends of the White Whale Society!

By Prince Of Petworth
