About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most postal workers were already at their desks, an old man began arriving daily at Old Town Station United States Post Office. He carried no packages or letters, just a small notebook and a pen. Nobody knew who he was or why he came, but soon everyone noticed something strange—he never wrote anything down. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘What are you writing?’ The old man replied, ‘I’m composing the perfect letter…to Santa Claus.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe his visits weren’t so mysterious after all.

2. At closing time, when the last stamp had been sold and the final envelope mailed, an elderly lady approached the counter with a mysterious package. ‘I’ve got something special for tomorrow’s mail,’ she whispered, her eyes twinkling mysteriously. With a sly smile, she handed over a small wrapped box. The clerk raised an eyebrow but nodded discreetly. Next morning, everyone in Old Town was buzzing—was it a secret wedding gift? A treasure map? Turns out, it was just her great-nephew’s birthday present, three days early. The whole town laughed, and from then on, she became known as the ‘mailroom magician.’

3. At sunrise, when the first rays touched Old Town Station, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every morning, right before opening, a mysterious figure in a fedora would appear and whisper into the mail slot. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the fedora-wearing stranger. Turned out it was just an old man delivering his own letters, muttering rhymes about lost packages. The postal workers now greet him with a smile, knowing he’s not really supernatural—just a regular with a great sense of humor.

4. At midnight, when the post office doors were locked tight, a mysterious figure in a fedora began leaving envelopes under the mail slot. Nobody knew who it was or why they delivered after hours. Some said it was an old postal worker trying to finish undelivered letters from his days off. Others claimed it was just a prankster having fun with late-night deliveries. One night, though, someone found a letter addressed simply to ‘the next person who opens this envelope.’ Inside was a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Hey, I’m done now—see you around!’ Since then, nobody’s seen the fedora again.
