Correspondence from county health nurse completes a long journey back to Leesburg.
Last week I began the tale of a dozen letters that Miss Bess Ott sent to her teenage niece over a six-year period, beginning in 1937. Miss Ott was living in Leesburg, where she was working as the new Loudoun County Health Department’s first public health nurse. Miss Ott never imagined that the letters, which provide a glimpse into life in Leesburg and Loudoun County in the middle of the 20th century, would find their way back to Leesburg more than seven decades later. On February 23, 1941, Miss Ott wrote that her landlady’s sister, Miss Nan McIntosh, had been operated on. She was getting along quite well, but would not be able to go out for some time. Miss Ellen Metzger had been ill in bed with the flu for several days. Miss Ott stayed …

Despite examining hundreds of post offices nationwide for cost savings, local office moves forward.
While hundreds of post offices nationwide have been identified as potential targets for closing, plans to provide a more convenient place for Ashburn residents to obtain postal services remain on track. The United States Postal Service previously downscaled, or at least indefinitely delayed, plans to construct a full-scale post office on property it owns in Belmont Greene near Belmont Ridge Road. Then, earlier this year, residents were told the Beaumeade Circle facility would be closed after the landlord declined to renew the lease. Postal representatives began searching for a place to open a small facility where residents would be able to buy stamps, ship parcels and find other retail-related services. The following locations remain under…

Ashburn location to take over Dulles facility
Trying to make the best of the news he was tasked to deliver, Michael Furey, a spokesperson for the United State Postal Service, explained that once the post office on Beaumeade Circle closes next year, Ashburn residents should expect faster postal service. At the same time, Furey explained that the government mail service plans to abandon its main presence within the Ashburn ZIP codes of 20147 and 20148. The comments came during a presentation to the Loudoun Board of Supervisors Monday night. The USPS has leased space on Beaumeade Circle for years, but the property owners recently informed the tenant that the space would no longer be available. With a sagging economy, even property owned by the postal service in Belmont Greene may be sold…
