DEMOLITION OPERATIONS BEGIN AT BETHESDA ARLINGTON ROAD POST OFFICE (PHOTOS)

Demolition of the old Bethesda Post Office on Arlington Road is getting underway. The building was not known for its grand architecture, but was a highly-functional Post Office with plenty of free, surface parking.

One can't help but feel nostalgic after attempting to utilize the new post office with no parking at 6900 Wisconsin Avenue.

The Phoenix condo in Clarendon incorporated the Arlington post office into the development.

I wonder why Montgomery County didn't do this on the post office site?

That was just one of several odd things about this post office scheme. The new developer actually offered space for the post office, but USPS backed out at the last minute. And then gave us 6900 Wisconsin Avenue, instead.
