Several HCA Members requested a post about mailing services that recently returned to Lake Anne following closure more than a year ago of a long time Contract Postal Unit within the former Lake Anne Pharmacy. Conveniently located within Chesapeake Chocolates, the new CPU just opened for business on February 1. In 2011, the U.S. Postal Service reported that for every CPU opened it closed two, and profit margins are thin, so community support is critical to help CPUs generate enough revenue to make operation worthwhile. But then again, not every CPU is located in a chocolate shop within a Modern Architecture historic district.
