You weren’t kidding about the scaffolding! No wonder you ride so many miles. It’s all under cover!!

That certainly qualifies as “some are really big”!! But the views are more like $1 views.

I used to live in NoVa, and this was the place you’d always come if you needed something mailed late in the day.

Didn’t get a picture, but the sheer number of loading docks behind the post office is quite impressive. And $1 views may be an overstatement.

The Great Southern Mail Route was authorized through Occoquan in 1805. During the Civil War, Alexandria and Washington were blockaded and Occoquan was one of the last post offices in which mail could be sent between the north and south.

The #po name is etched in white on the left-hand glass door, but almost impossible to see with the backlight in this pic.

Cherokee Finance Station, York Ave, UWS. Scaffolding (again) making it hard to get a decent picture

I don’t think I’ve seen one like this before. It is an approved Postal provider. They had a flag out front and a mailbox.

Chantilly, VA Post Office. Quite a busy place. Perhaps folks are trying to get their mailings done between bouts of bad weather. Or perhaps just because it’s Chantilly.
