About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague: ‘Have you ever seen mailboxes move on their own?’ His colleague shrugged and replied with a smile: ‘Only when I’m too busy checking out that cute new neighbor across the street!’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, knowing full well that sometimes love really does make us see things that aren’t there.’
2. A curious neighbor noticed something odd one afternoon. While sorting through letters in the Westside Station's lobby, an elderly volunteer kept muttering under his breath: 'This box always seems to know where I live...' One day, a delivery driver overheard the old man and asked what he meant. With a twinkle in his eye, the volunteer replied, ‘It’s just that every time I send a letter here, it always finds its way back to my own mailbox!’ The driver shook his head and laughed, thinking the old fellow had too much time on his hands. But when he checked his own mail later that week, sure enough—there was another letter addressed to him from Alexandria Post Office. Since then, whenever anyone asks about the mysterious goings-on at Westside Station, they smile and whisper, ‘Oh, you should see the letters that keep finding their way home.’
3. A postal worker was counting envelopes late one night when she heard a strange noise coming from outside. She peered out and saw that one of the mailboxes seemed to be… dancing? Curious, she approached the mailbox, but as soon as she got close, it stopped moving. Just then, an old letter fell out, addressed to nobody in particular. The next morning, everyone in town received a mysterious note saying, ‘Your mailbox danced last night—come see!’ It turned out to be just an enthusiastic neighborhood delivery driver having fun with his new toy.
4. While sorting through letters one day, a postal worker wondered aloud: 'Why does this pile always seem to grow heavier?' As he pondered, an old letter addressed to ‘The Mayor of Alexandria’ caught his eye. Curious, he opened it—and found a stack of outdated permits and expired parking tickets. Turns out, the town had been sending reminders for years without anyone noticing! The postal worker laughed so hard that he accidentally sent himself on vacation for two weeks.
