[quote=Anonymous]Are people actually trying to counter the point that there isn't much to do in the block with the postal museum??  The postal museum is a lovely pretty building, but having a post office, defunct restaurant and government office in it does not make this an asset for people who work around here.

Also, why are people so bothered by the idea of people doing a little shopping during lunch?  When I used to work at metro center, it was really common to eat at my desk and then spend 30 minutes with some friend colleagues at H&M or in the shoe department at macys for some social time in lieu of sitting down for lunch somewhere.  Friday was a particularly popular day to do this.  I don't see how that's any different than standing in line at DC taco for 30 minutes during one's lunch, or sitting with colleagues at the Press Building food court.  Have you ever popped into one of those stores in metro center on a Friday at 1pm?  They are jammed to the gills with professional women in their 20s and 30s taking a quick break from work.  And there's a reason that retail outlets keep opening up downtown (Off Saks, Nordstrom Rack are the latest, Sephora coming soon, etc).  And it's not for their weekend traffic, as those places are really quiet on a Saturday afternoon.  They are much, much busier on weekday afternoons than they are on weekends.

Shocker: just because you sit at your desk for lunch every day, doesn't mean everyone else does too![/quote]
