When did you move? My partner and I are considering heading up there eventually.

We moved about a year ago and will be moving back to Portland in about 4-5 years. We have been joking that this move to NYC is when "educated Oregonians do something stupid." Though this year away from Portland and Oregon has made us realize how much we really miss the Northwest and how it really is the best part of the country.
As for the USPS, if I could do anything, I would see the park blocks extended into the middle of it with a tall tower at the very north end of the park blocks. Then having something like 10 story buildings on the east and west side of the park, basically creating a mini city of office, residential, street commercial, a hotel, and a theater of some sort.
It would be something grand for that area and very fitting.
