Please, Mr. Postman

 

This is my snowman for holiday cards this year.  I chose a postman because I wanted to highlight my change of street name.  I didn't move, but the street name has changed and so I have a new address.  I am still getting mail at the old address (629 Ellen Wilson PL SE), and getting it at the new address (629 Navy PL SE) as well.  I don't know how long that will last.  The reason given is that Ellen Wilson was a racist, but Wikipedia says she worked to clean up black neighborhoods in DC when she was First Lady...the first wife of Woodrow Wilson.  That's why the street had been named for her.   She died while he was in office.  I'm also not sure why Navy PL was chosen,  I'm in a neighborhood close to what is called Navy Yard, but the Marines are even closer.  I won't spend much more time pondering this....it is just a street name.
