Sneak peek: Westbard Square U.S. Post Office in Bethesda (Photos)


Here's a sneak peek at the interior of the new U.S. Post Office opening soon at the new Westbard Square development in Bethesda. A decade after it promised to open a post office in 20816 to serve customers displaced by the closure of the Arlington Road post office, the United States Postal Service is about to "deliver." This will actually be more convenient for postal customers in the Westbard area than Arlington Road was, except for not having drive-up mailboxes, a major loss. The post office has a corner spot by the parking garage entrance of the Giant building, facing Westbard Avenue.

Nice! Any idea when the Tatte or Piccolo Piatti will open? Excited to also see there will be a new Thai restaurant.

Drive up mailboxes? Drive up mailboxes? We don’t got to put in no stinkin’ drive up mailboxes! This is a walkable, pedestrian friendly community.

Do you think this Post Office is on a rural route in Kansas?

Is the in-perpetuity video and audio surveillance still in place at Westbard Square? Any evidence that the forever-surveillance actually was temporary? Even if the signs were taken down, it doesn't necessarily mean retaining surveillance video and audio has ended. Call me skeptical!
