CURBED - Downtown Preservation Watch Three-Pack:
Prince Street Post Office, 43 MacDougal Street, Washington Square Park!
Wednesday, April 15, 2009, by Lockhart
 1) Prince Street Post Office: Word broke a few weeks back that the Prince Street Post Office -- that charming governmental
annex attached to Soho's Apple Store -- would close for business on July 31 (also at risk: Post Offices at Columbus Circle
and on West 180th Street). Today, fans of snail mail gathered outside the Prince Street outpost to show their displeasure;
blogger and Prince Street boxholder 66 Square Feet captured the scene and gave voice to the displeasure: "We will be in a
postal wasteland. The winds will blow icy and cruel through our coats as we walk another half mile to a holdout on Canal Street."
