The FedEx store at 3329 M St. is closing on May 24th. The closest store will now be the one in Glover Park.
This is a setback for Georgetown, as this location has long served as a convenient spot to handle larger print/scanning jobs, on top of the ordinary package services. A lesser known service they offer is to hold your Fedex packages for you when you don’t want to risk them getting stolen. (UPS offers a similar service at their N St. location). You can now have the packages re-routed to Glover Park, but that will be less convenient for many.
While the current store is a Fedex, longer time residents will remember it as the Kinkos. This predecessor of the FedEx store occupied the building since at least the early 90s:

The Georgetown Metropolitan 
Georgetown used to have: a real hardware store, a real electrical supply store, several real grocery stores. Our local post office, when it is open, is not up to the job. But apparently there isn’t sufficient demand for these kinds of services anymore.
What we have in abundance, aside from restaurants, are treats shops, coffee spots and banks. Good for tourists, less so for locals – especially those without cars.
