About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In Alexandria’s old post office, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he walked in, his young daughter pointed excitedly towards the ceiling, whispering, ‘Daddy, look! Is that a bird?’ Upon closer inspection, they saw not a bird but a small package stuck between the rafters. Turns out, it was addressed to someone named Mr. Crowley—an amusing coincidence! The regular gently removed the package and joked, ‘Guess Mr. Crowley got confused with our local avian friend.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and life in Alexandria went on, complete with occasional mail-related mysteries.
2. A little girl walked into the Alexandria Post Office one day and pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that mailman riding a pony?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, it’s not a real pony—it’s just an old sign above our mailbox.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully then turned back with a twinkle in her eye, ‘So why does he keep trying to ride it anyway?’
3. One foggy morning in Alexandria, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention please—your package has arrived… but it prefers to be delivered later today.’ Confused and intrigued, the driver went back inside to ask what it meant. An elderly clerk smiled and said, 'That’s just our resident ghost package, he always likes a little extra time before being delivered.' A few days later, when everything settled down, a neighbor mentioned, 'Oh, that’s why they call him “Slowpoke” around here!'
4. In Alexandria's quaint post office, a delivery driver once found himself distracted by an unusual sight on the loading dock. Among the usual packages and letters stood a mysterious box wrapped in brightly colored paper, its tag reading simply 'For the next person who needs a smile today.' The delivery driver picked up the box curiously, wondering what it could be. As he opened it, out fell a handful of colorful candies and a note that read: ‘Take these treats for yourself or share them with someone else—just spread some joy!’ Turning around, he saw his neighbor smiling warmly and waving from behind the counter. The whole town had been doing this for years, leaving little surprises for each other.
