The murals and photos of the past depict life from years gone by. We explored this treasure and marveled at the architecture. Impeccably maintained! There's even a little self serve table with local honey for sale. Can't beat this type of country post office!

I spotted this unique Quinqué post office driving down Rt. 33, heading the the mountains. It was…read morenestled behind some trees and was very tiny, but my PO radar was sharp today! Every time I see a flag flying, my spidey senses tingle. I actually am giving this post office an extra star because of its name, but it's really an average brick building. I took the pics with one step in and turned around for the next one, it was that tight. The customer service is so personable! That's what you'd expect from a small town. The census bureau shows 0 population, but it's only a few miles from Ruckersville which has about 1,350 residents. Hours m-f 12-4:00, sat 9-11

Small post office, big smiles! Always greated with a smile. Take good care of their customers.read more

The lovely flower beds take this quaint Keswick post office over the edge. The flowers are donated…read moreand maintained by the Keswick Garden Club which has been instrumental in the beautification of many places in this small community. 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

There is a tiny LOVE sign attached to the Rockfish sign which is precious. Inside was a Coca Cola cooler and a U S Mail post office lunch box! Pretty cool! The town of Rockfish was referred to in The Waltons Series so fans of the show are attracted to this post office like a magnet! If you have a chance to check out this landmark by the RR tracks, you're in for a treat!

A simple brick building with an alcove before you get to the main lobby, which is paneled with a light wood. Plenty of parking and well maintained grounds. Inside is super clean and well stocked. There's a greeting card kiosk and lots of info about the close-knit community news. Hours M-F 8-12, 1-4:30, Sat 8:30-10:30

There are many eateries and shops, including at least one theater, that will satisfy all visitors with varied tastes. I think the best part is they are price friendly to consumers. I hope I will have time to check out Tom Cruise's latest Mission Impossible movie that is showing now before I leave, so I can comment on my experience with the theater.

I am a small business owner. When I heard that I could get a vending spot on the amazing…read morescene-laden downtown mall for under a thousand dollars a year, I was floored. I met with Neighborhood Development Services, specifically Craig Fabio, and I was duly impressed with the exchange. I start in October, at the beginning of the 4th quarter. I was able to easily set up a meeting. I had a conversation about my business and what I'd be selling. All of my options and responsibilities were clearly laid out in paper and in voice. When I left, I had a start date, a vending license, and a home-occupation declaration, making me legitimate in my new home. Customer service is at the forefront of every desk I visited, each with a smile, an answer, and a story. I also talked with Craig about the politic of the vending on the mall, how it is under fire from a few high-rentpayers in brick and mortars, but was thrilled to hear that Charlottesville supports the rights of the less privileged and super-small business owners in town, and that vending is recognized as one of the cultural and common rights in town. This, in small part is what I love about Charlottesville.
