About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the postal station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. Inside was an old, dusty teddy bear with a note that read: ‘For the kind soul who delivers our mail.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a neighbor who wanted to brighten everyone's day. Since then, Fitzsimons Station has become known for its annual 'Mailbox Mystery Bear' tradition.'

2. One day, a regular asked the postmaster, ‘Why does every letter you send out seem to take exactly 3 minutes and 27 seconds?’ The postmaster smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘That’s because each letter contains a tiny note saying, “Please deliver in three minutes and twenty-seven seconds.”’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes our little town has its own quirks.

3. One afternoon, as employees were wrapping up their shift, someone heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Dear customers, please be advised that from now on, all letters will be delivered in alphabetical order.’ Over time, people began dropping off letters with specific names just to see them appear in the right spot. Soon enough, the postal service became a local attraction. A delivery driver joked that he’d finally found his dream job—delivering mail in alphabetical order! Meanwhile, a regular customer quipped, 'Now I can always find my bills faster than ever!'

4. One autumn morning, while sorting letters in Fitzsimons Station's quiet hallway, the mail clerk heard a tiny voice from behind the counter: 'Mama, why do these envelopes look like they're smiling back at me?' The clerk looked up and saw only an empty hallway—just an old postmark playing tricks on her eyes. Smiling, she turned back to the letters, whispering, ‘Must be those autumn colors getting to everyone.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in, scratching his head and muttering something about seeing a little girl with a smile as big as Texas. The postmaster shook his head and said, “Probably just Fitzsimons’ famous ghostly mail carrier.”
