Downtown Topeka s iconic post office building on Kansas Avenue is no longer on the market.
After news in recent years that the United States Postal Service was looking to sell the building and that a bid from a potential mystery buyer had been accepted a postal service spokesperson told The Topeka Capital-Journal on Wednesday that USPS still owns the historic limestone structure at 424 S. Kansas Ave. It is currently not for sale, the spokesperson said.
That announcement comes after news in early 2014 that the postal service wrote a letter to Topeka city officials, saying USPS would sell the building and its accompanying parking lot.
The Pennant s newest menu item is a patty melt with a twist. The Vince s Party Melt, as it is dubbed by the downtown Topeka restaurant, isn t only a unique play on the crowd-favorite sandwich but has been created in honor of former Downtown Topeka Inc. president Vince Frye.
The sandwich, which was unveiled Friday to a room full of Frye s family, friends and colleagues and Frye himself, will be a permanent menu item. The sandwich dedication comes just a few months after Frye retired from his position as DTI president, a role in which he served for eight years.
Frye collaborated with The Pennant to create the sandwich, which is made with a burger patty, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, a blend of horseradish, mustard and Thousand Island dressing and Frye s favorite topping: bacon. The ingredients are sandwiched between two slices of toasted marble rye bread.
