Mail piles up outside abandoned Bethesda office building (Photos)

Somebody forgot to give a forwarding address to the U.S. Postal Service when tenants departed the doomed Apex Building at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda. Mail and newspapers continue to be delivered, and are piling up outside the now-locked doors of the vacant office building. The Washington Post, Bloomberg and Barron's are among the publications not getting to their subscribers at the moment.

Robert - that magazine on the heating grate is an incredibly looming fire hazard. Please tell me you picked it up and put it back after staging that photo.

"Somebody forgot to give a forwarding address to the U.S. Postal Service when tenants departed the doomed Apex Building at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda."

Only the tenant can give a forwarding order to the Post Office.
Publications are only forwarded for 60 days. There is no reason to believe that any tenant failed to provide a forwarding address to the USPS based on your evidence.

This sort of rush to judgement on your part characterizes much of your blog.

The Washington Post (and probably those other periodicals) are not delivered by USPS, but rather they use their local carriers. I'm guessing those local carriers do not check the USPS forwarding database, and probably don't honor forwarding anyway.

You could have at least pixelated the address label on the Barron's. Now poor Julian Flores is going to get hate mail for his involuntary association with your moribund blog and Trump's corrupt cabinet appointees.

Leave Robert Dyer alone!

Maybe he will do a YouTube review of your life, in which it would get two thumbs down.
