I am usually at this post office daily during the holidays to drop off packages. I have had nothing…read morebut excellent service from the employees at this specific Post Office. Always professional, know what the heck they're doing/talking about, and the line moves quite smoothly, unless of course a customer comes in who has no idea what they're doing which is on the customer, not the employees. Could the USPS in general be better? Sure. Anything government could be. But in my experience with post offices in a few different cities/states, this branch does a helluva job. This branch does not have a package drop-off bin in the lobby, which was a surprise to me for such a large branch. So if you need to drop off a package that is larger than the standard mail drawer after hours/on the weekend, you're SOL.

I don't like that homeless men are there at night when I check my PO Box with jars of urine all around. It is not safe for women at night. Make sure you have mace if you absolutely must go there alone at night.

This is located in Wisconsin Square near the Harbour Place Condos. Fun fact: according to the Downtown Norfolk website, this bell is one of the last remaining pieces of the "Norfolk" destroyer. Some parts of the ships is in a high school in Florida and the rest of the ship was scrapped in 1974. I always appreciate a piece of history being documented and shared with the public for all to enjoy. Stay safe, Friends!

The Col. John D. Thorowgood Historical Marker sits near the site of the Revolutionary War leader's…read more840 acre plantation on Little Creek. The waterways have shifted over time due in major part to an early hurricane that changed the flow of the Lynnhaven River. The marker sits on Shell Road at its intersection with Northampton Boulevard. The Lake Smith/Lake Lawson Natural Area is now the waterway where it stands. Thorowgood was elected to the 1776 Virginia Convention which adopted the Virginia Declaration of Rights & the Colony's first Constitution. He was the Princess Ann County House of Delegates member in the inaugural session, serving for 6 terms. He commanded the county militia and was a prisoner of war by 1781. Col. John D. Thorowgood was a great grandson of Adam Thoroughgood, who received a land grant of 5,350 acres along the Lynnhaven River in 1635. The plantation site would have been his inheritance. I've passed the marker so many times over the years on busy Northampton Boulevard and wished there was a safe way to stop. It would also be difficult & dangerous to see from Lake Smith/Lake Lawson Natural Area because it sits so very close to Highway 13, which leads to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel then up the Eastern Shore to the North East. The perfect route was found by exiting a small shopping center on Diamond Springs Road onto the short segment of Shell Road that intersects with Northampton Boulevard exactly where the marker is placed. Thank you for your service Col, Thorowgood. You played an important part in the formation of our country by your service in the Revolutionary War. Your name should be as familiar to residents as your more well known ancestor.
