About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed the old postal worker's eyes widened slightly, then quickly returned to their usual calm demeanor. Finally, the old worker took a deep breath and said, 'This is our special Christmas package from Santa himself!' Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who realized he'd been tricked into delivering a giant box of cookies. The neighbors exchanged knowing smiles, glad that even in Arlington, magic still lived on.
2. In the dead of night, a postal worker heard an unusual sound coming from inside the Arlington Post Office. The clock on the wall read 2 AM—an hour when mailboxes are usually quiet. Curious, he approached the sound and found only a regular delivering packages with his headphones on full blast. They both jumped, but soon burst out laughing. ‘Guess I’ll be waking you up every night now,’ the delivery driver joked as they shook hands.
3. At precisely midnight every Thursday, a voice over the PA announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our late-night sorting session has officially begun.’ No one knew who or why, but the post office never failed to deliver on time. One Thursday night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel while listening to the familiar announcement. When he woke up, his truck was parked outside the post office with the engine still running. A sleepy neighbor, hearing the PA voice say, 'Sorting session in full swing,' looked out their window and asked, 'Did you hear that? The post office is delivering mail… again!'
4. At exactly noon each Friday, a mysterious envelope appeared on the counter. It always bore the same cryptic note: ‘Open me when you least expect it.’ One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘I found it! The envelope!’ Everyone gathered around as he opened it with trembling hands—only to reveal a crumpled piece of paper saying, ‘Sorry, ran out of stamps.’
