About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular walked into Smokey Point Post Office one morning and asked the clerk with a straight face: ‘Can you please hold my package until tomorrow? It’s addressed to myself, but I’m not here today.’ The clerk raised an eyebrow but nodded politely. The next day, the same man returned, picked up his package—and promptly forgot he had ever left it there. A delivery driver later found himself explaining to a bemused postal worker why he was delivering a letter addressed to 'Smokey Point Post Office'.
2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Smokey Point Post Office with an unusual package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, the clerk’s eyes widened when she saw the return address: it read simply ‘To Whom It May Concern, From Your Future Self.’ The clerk took the package and carefully unwrapped it. Inside was a letter addressed to herself from exactly one week later. She opened it curiously, only to find another note inside saying: 'PS – Don’t forget to mail my reply!' The whole town laughed for days over that one.
3. At sunset, a neighbor noticed something peculiar coming from Smokey Point Post Office. Every evening, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, a faint humming sound would echo through the quiet streets. Curious, the neighbor approached the post office and found nothing unusual inside—just a regular delivering driver finishing his shift. Turned out it was the hum of the old air-conditioning unit, working overtime to keep the mail cool during summer evenings.
4. At dusk, a postal worker whistled as he left Smokey Point Post Office. ‘Never a dull moment,’ he muttered, glancing back at the building’s shadowy corners. Suddenly, from one of those dark corners emerged a small package, bouncing towards him with its own little rhythm. The worker stopped, raised an eyebrow, and picked it up curiously. Turned out it was just a misdelivered birthday cake for a local neighbor. As he carried it home, smiling, he thought maybe his day wasn’t so dull after all.
