East of the River Shopping Center Post Office Closure

I have to admit, I don't really care about the post office closing. The service there is the worst, the people are mean and the place is dirty. Not to mention, I would like to see the whole shopping center bulldozed so we can finally get some development. BUT, I do realize that there are a lot of people who need/use the post office; so here you go.

From Councilmember Alexanders office:

Ward 7 Residents,

On Thursday, November 10 at 5:30 p.m., there will be a public meeting concerning the possible closing of the Benning Post Office at the East River Park Shopping Center. The meeting is being hosted by the United States Postal Service and will be held at the Dorothy Height (Benning) Library located at 3935 Benning Rd. NE.

The United States Postal Service is currently conducting a discontinuance feasibility study of the facility operations at the Benning Post Office. The Postal service is studying whether to close the Benning Branch based on customer needs, efficiency and budget restraints. I know how important the Benning Post Office is to our community and I have been advocating for it to remain open. Please see the attached letter addressed to Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. I encourage all Ward 7 residents who would be affected by its closure to come out and voice your concerns at this community meeting.
