The article gives the port's address as 0 King Street. I can't verify that such an address exists but it would roughly designate the restaurant and/or recreational docks at the end of King Street in Old Town Alexandria. The company's website only provides the office's address, 2 Duke Street. Searching for "Robinson Terminal" in Google Maps gives another address, 1 Oronoco Street.[1] The satellite photo shows a warehouse facility alongside a waterfront at the end of a railroad spur. Based on this I will update the address in the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Looking at the satellite photo again, 2 Duke Street appears to be a port, as well, which corresponds with the comany's statement that they run two berths on the Potomac. One of their Springfield warehouses (the one along the southeast Beltway) is frequently cited as a landmark in traffic reports. This might be worth mentioning but I'll have to figure out how to cite a traffic report. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure it's still accurate to say that one of the locations is in College Park, MD. This was actually part of a Washington Post printing facility, but that is now part of the University of Maryland ([2]). However, the Robinson Terminal company has not yet updated their website to reflect this. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:32, 8 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
