About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Allentown when a regular postal worker noticed something peculiar outside the post office. As he unlocked the doors, a neighbor casually mentioned that strange lights had been seen flickering from within the building late into the night. Curious, the worker peered inside and saw only blinking Christmas decorations left on too long. The whole town laughed it off as an innocent mistake, but ever since then, every December, someone forgets to turn them off until New Year’s Eve. The legend lives on—with a smile.
2. A little girl walked into the post office one afternoon and asked the clerk, ‘Why is that box moving?’ Everyone looked up—and sure enough, there on the counter, was a package wriggling like it had a mind of its own. The clerk smiled and said, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Snuggles, our resident postal hamster!' It seems he loves exploring packages before they’re delivered. A delivery driver chuckled, ‘He’s been doing this since last Christmas.’ The little girl giggled and left with her package, now knowing why Allentown Post Office was so special.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Allentown Post Office late one afternoon, frowning as he scanned the parking lot. Something seemed off—there was only one familiar face inside. Finally, a regular walked out and waved him over. ‘Hey,’ she said with a smile, ‘we’re just having our annual meeting here. Everyone’s in there.’ The delivery guy scratched his head and asked, ‘Annual what?’ She laughed, pointing towards the door. ‘Our knitting club!’
4. Late on a stormy night, a neighborhood cat found itself trapped inside the Allentown Post Office's mail slot. Frantic neighbors gathered outside, trying to coax it out without success. Finally, an old delivery driver named Joe remembered that he had a long stick in his truck. With some help from everyone, he gently prodded the cat out of the slot. The relieved animal scurried away, while the neighbors cheered and joked about how they’d never look at their mail the same way again. 'Guess we'll just have to be more careful,' said a neighbor with a smile, as Joe drove off whistling.
