It is now Feb 9 and all 4 pieces are sitting in a USPS "transfer point" undelivered. That's more than $40 paid the USPS wasted. Granted there was a major snow storm in this area on Jan 24 (9 days after I mailed the 4 pieces), but roads (and runways) have been cleared for days. I was warned about government inefficiencies in this part of VA before I moved here. Now I've experienced it first hand. The question I ask is, why do people here put up with it?

Although not much to see on the outside of this busy post office in Charlottesville, VA, it's cool…read morethat it's conveniently located right on the promenade of the downtown mall. It's a rather large facility and it was busy, but the lines were organized by a queue that moved fast. It was beautifully maintained out front, although we did see some "loitering" by the steps. It was clean and tidy on the inside, which was a bright sunny spacious lobby. There was a big greeting card kiosk and plenty of mailing & shipping supplies offered. Also, there a lots of P.O. Boxes available inside. The downside is the parking as you need to park on the street or in the nearby parking deck. The lobby is understandably only open during business hours due to the many people wandering around the mall area to keep it safe and avoid folks "squatting" inside. But perhaps for that reason, it's inconvenient for people who may need to pick up their mail after hours. Hours M-F 8:30-5:00, closed Saturday

Instead of the delivery driver putting the package in front the RIGHT APARTMENT whick is clearly on the package, he decided to put it at the bottom of the stairs .

This well stocked and organized post office has the mail boxes clearly marked and the signage is impressive. The exterior is warm and welcoming with its brick sidewalk, mauve & gray paint, and planters filled with greenery. These folks take pride in their building, and their customer service! The town is named for Nathan Gordon, owner of a tavern established in 1794. And he was also the first postmaster of the community officially named Gordonsville in 1813. The town grew due to the railway expansion and is loaded with historic sites! Along with the post office, Main Street is lined with shops, restaurants, and businesses which adds to the charm of this "must visit" town! The hours are M-F 8:30-4:30 - closed Saturday and Sunday and no passport service.

The Garden Club was established in 1958 and is active in the Charlottesville area. That's indeed flower power! Keswick is cute little "town" that is home to a lovely winery and vineyard nestled in the mountains a few miles east of Charlottesville. It's mainly a residential and farmland area with no town square or downtown district, although there are some large estates and clubs in Keswick. The post office is really the center of town, and is at the curve of the main road where a historical marker is situated. It has a small population of about 320 people but the post office delivers to several other small towns not big enough to have their own post office. This post office is eye-catching with its beige exterior highlighted with black trim, black shutters, and even a hint of black Spanish tiles. Inside, there are wood-like floors, lots of light, and it's neat as a pin. Love this post office! Hours M-F 9:00-12:00, 1:00-5:00 Closed Saturday
