I have heard that the USPS have said Northside and Clifton are supposed to go to the Corryville post office.
right
Try doing it on a bus.
Fortunately for Northsiders, the College Hill branch is not on the chopping block. While the Northside branch is a block away from one of the busiest Metro hubs in the city, College Hill & Corryville post office branches have parking lots.
Why does the Fed subsidize mass transit but then ignore it when prioritizing post office branch locations? They seem to be much more interested in parking lots. From my experience, the Corryville & Oakley parking lots are nightmares.
oh well…..
Northsiders and Cliftonites know their postmasters on a first name basis.
PS – Emily should drink a lot of liquor and smoke a lot of cigarettes on the nights before the shows.
I’m not sure what you mean (re: liquor and cigarettes).
