About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague: ‘Did you hear about the postman who delivered letters… to himself?’ His colleague shook his head and replied with a smile: ‘No, tell me!’ The first guy whispered conspiratorially, ‘Apparently, he delivers all the mail to an old address on Maple Street—himself!’ They both laughed heartily, realizing that sometimes life in small towns can be just as quirky as any urban legend.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the USPS Allen Post Office one afternoon and yelled out the window: ‘Hey, did you see that guy walking backwards into the building?’ An old man, a regular around these parts, emerged from the door, still facing backward and smiling. The delivery driver waved and asked, 'Hey, Mr. Johnson, how’s your day?' To which he replied without turning around, 'Fine, sonny, just counting my blessings!' Everyone laughed, including the postal workers inside who had been watching the whole spectacle unfold.
3. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the USPS Allen Post Office with a large envelope. As he approached the counter, a recorded voice announced over the intercom: 'Attention please! This package is addressed to someone who has already moved.' The clerk smiled and said, ‘Sir, it looks like you’ve got the wrong address.’ The old man beamed, nodded wisely, and replied, ‘Ah, well, I guess that’s why they invented second chances!’ He turned around, left the envelope, and disappeared into the crowd, leaving everyone in the post office laughing.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to the USPS Allen Post Office one afternoon and exclaimed, 'I just delivered a package addressed to “Future President of the United States.” Who do you think it was?' The postal worker scratched his head and replied, ‘Well, that’s interesting! But I’d say it probably wasn’t anyone here yet.’ A few weeks later, an excited neighbor approached the driver and said, ‘Hey, did you know that Joe from down the street is now the Vice President?’ The driver laughed and shook his head, muttering, ‘Small world, huh? Maybe next time I’ll deliver something for the President!’
