About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of rural New England, a postal carrier always noticed something peculiar outside Correios. A small mailbox, usually empty, would inexplicably contain a single letter—always addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. One day, an excited delivery driver found a note inside: ‘Dear Driver, please deliver this letter to yourself!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a local kid who loved watching mailboxes fill up with mystery letters. The whole town laughed, and Correios became known for its weekly surprise correspondence.
2. In a small town in Texas, every afternoon around closing time, employees at Correios heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the mail sorting room. No one could figure out its source, but it seemed to get louder whenever a new package arrived. One day, a delivery driver brought in a large box labeled ‘Top Secret’. The hum grew so loud that even the postmaster’s cat started howling along. Finally, someone opened the box—and found nothing but a note reading: “Sorry for the noise, our server was down.” Everyone laughed, and ever since then, when the humming starts, they just wave at each other and say, ‘Hey, Correios is back online!’
3. In a sleepy neighborhood of Los Angeles, a delivery driver often wondered aloud: "Who keeps leaving those mysterious packages outside the Correios?" One day, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe they’re secret letters from Santa!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, knowing it was just another urban legend. But as he drove away, he couldn’t help but wonder who really did leave those packages… or if maybe they were simply gifts from an anonymous friend.
4. In a bustling downtown area of Chicago, every Wednesday at precisely 3 PM, a mysterious voice would announce over the PA system at Correios: ‘Attention please! Your package has arrived… from the future!’ One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'I’ve got it! I’ve got it!' He held up a small envelope, saying, 'This is your package from the future—just like always.' A regular customer chuckled and asked, 'And what’s inside?' The driver grinned, replying, 'It says here: “Sorry for the delay!”'
