About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular arrived early one morning with his usual package. As he approached the counter, the clerk asked him something unusual: ‘Sir, do you know why your package is shaped like an old-fashioned train?’ The man scratched his head and replied, ‘No, I must admit, it never occurred to me.’ The clerk smiled and said, ‘Well sir, that’s because it IS an old-fashioned train! It’s a model from the Aurora toy company—your package was mistakenly loaded onto the wrong truck!’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, including our puzzled friend who’d just received a childhood memory in the mail.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Altura Station Aurora Post Office late one afternoon, frowning as he scanned the empty parking lot. He noticed an envelope taped to the front door, its handwriting so tiny and precise it looked like something from another era. He opened the envelope carefully, revealing a single sheet of old paper with a quaint drawing of a postal carriage. Written in elegant script was: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this letter to yourself.' A regular walked by and asked curiously, ‘What’s that?’ The driver grinned sheepishly, replying, “Just my weekly reminder to visit the post office.”

3. A neighbor asked curiously: ‘Have you seen those strange packages arriving after midnight?’ With a knowing smile, you replied, ‘Just some special deliveries from our mysterious night-time friend.’ The next day, everyone was talking about it—until another package arrived with a note inside: “Happy holidays from Altura Station Aurora!” Turns out, it was just an annual prank organized by the local postmaster.

4. At dawn, when most postal workers were packing their bags, an old truck pulled into Altura Station Aurora Post Office. Its headlights cut through the quiet like a whisper, and everyone inside wondered who could be delivering so early. The door creaked open, revealing a grizzled delivery driver with a sleepy smile. 'Morning, folks!' he yawned. 'Just here for some coffee—oh, and these packages.' Everyone burst out laughing as he stumbled towards the counter, his arms full of mismatched parcels and a thermos labeled ‘Aurora Love.’
