That whole intersection is a mess. Left for LeDroit – would you want to put your creative mind to work to figure out how the NJ/FL/RI Ave/ 4th St/ S St/ 5th St. intersection could be improved? I, personally, would eliminate the S to 4th connection road, and use that new triangle for either A) a small park or B) a development parcel to enliven the intersection. The whole RI & FL Ave intersection area is blighted in my opionon with the three gas stations and a very inefficient road system that makes the area difficult to traverse as a pedestrian.

I sent some x-mas presents from here once. Granted it was like 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday….so not sure what their real hours were. I asked the lady if it was going to be closed anytime soon, she mentioned that even if it is shut down for good, it would take 6+ months for it to ACTUALLY close its doors.

I’m just happy it has the convenient FedEx drop box out front. For use when I am worried the USPS is just not reliable enough to get my mail there on time.

For Ledroit Park, it not an inconvenience, but for those of us south-east (Fl & N. Cap), our closest options would become union station, Mt Vernon Square or the Howard PO, most at 1+ miles. Other than the late opening, it’s not too far of a detour to swing by it and use the Shaw metro rather than NY-AVE.
