About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while sorting mail in the quiet downtown station, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every time he approached a certain box, it seemed to emit a soft, rhythmic humming sound—like an old gramophone playing a forgotten tune. Curious, he leaned closer and realized that the sound came from an old, neglected gramophone record stuck halfway inside the mailbox. After some gentle coaxing, out popped an ancient vinyl, covered with dust but still intact. The delivery driver played it on his car stereo later that day, discovering it was a rare jazz track from the 1950s—a perfect match for his evening coffee.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the post office and asked the clerk, ‘Do you know why they say “neither snow nor rain” on our building?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Why, sir, it’s because no matter what weather or circumstances, we deliver your mail!' The old man nodded thoughtfully, then said with a twinkle in his eye, 'I always knew that meant something more than just rain and snow.' And as he left, he muttered under his breath, 'Guess I’ll never be a poet.'

3. One afternoon, a little girl followed her grandmother into the post office. As they approached the counter, she whispered excitedly, 'Grandma, look!' pointing towards a strange box with blinking lights on top. Inside, an elderly delivery driver was adjusting something inside the box. He looked up and smiled warmheartedly, saying, ‘Oh, hello there! Just checking if our new mail sorting robot is working fine.’ The little girl giggled, thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

4. In the early morning, a postal worker was folding letters when he heard someone humming off-key from behind the counter. Curious, he turned around and saw an old man whistling ‘Happy Birthday’ while sorting packages. ‘Sir,’ asked the worker, ‘are you always that tuneful?’ The man smiled sheepishly, ‘Only on Mondays—today’s my anniversary.’
