Thanks to Nick for sending the update: “Dupont Circle post office signage.”
In my day this space was previously home to a Drybar, a Custom Fuel Pizza and a Potbelly.
This post office will replace the recently closed, nearby, Temple Heights location. What a ride.
Stay tuned for a post office opening date.

The entire third level is dedicated to the luxurious primary suite retreat, complete with a den, custom built-ins, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath. The updated lower level offers front and rear egress, a fourth bedroom and bath, wet bar, laundry, storage, and a large family room—perfect for guests or rental potential.

The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight.
