In the comments for our post about the fire at the Columbia Heights Metro station, another CH problem caught our eye – mail. Apparently some Columbia Heightsters (or Height-ites?) have been having issues with their snail mail.

Much of the thread is spent wondering about which post office actually serves the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Is it the station at 14th & T, or the one on 18th St. at Kalorama? (answer: depends on your address, go here to find out). And what really did happen to the 14th and Irving station (construction, or rats?).

But mostly people in Columbia Heights would like to send and receive their mail like everyone else. New blogger Jules of Heights of Columbia complains of missing utility and credit card bills, and commenter Jason says his outgoing mail hasn’t been reaching its destinations. Commenter chrisafer added that his mail carrier was jumped in Columbia Heights the other day. Yikes.

We’ve had intermittent mail problems at our past places around the District, but this seems worse than usual. Anyone else in the area having issues?
