Northcross Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he arrived at Northcross Post Office, an old man was standing exactly in front of the entrance, holding a sign that read ‘Mailman on Duty.’ The driver waved and smiled, but the man never moved or acknowledged him. Finally, one day the mailman decided to stop and ask the old fellow what his story was. To everyone’s surprise, no one was there—just a small pile of letters addressed to ‘Mailman on Duty, Northcross Post Office.’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood prankster having some fun with the poor guy delivering mail.

2. One day, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Grandma, why does that mailbox keep dancing?’ Grandma smiled knowingly. 'Oh, child,' she whispered, 'that's no ordinary mailbox. It's Northcross' mischievous mailman playing his pranks again.' The little girl giggled, and they both watched as the mailbox twirled one last time before settling down for the night.

3. One afternoon, while sorting mail, an elderly woman heard an unusual announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention please! The letter carrier has just found a package addressed to “The Happiest Person in Town.” If you’re feeling down today, it might be for you!’ As she opened the package curiously, out popped a brightly wrapped box filled with freshly baked cookies and a note reading: 'Dear Downhearted Soul, these are from your secret admirer!' Turns out, it was just one of those days when Northcross’s friendly delivery driver decided to cheer up everyone around town.

4. Late one night, a postal worker was closing up the Northcross Post Office when she heard a soft tapping sound from inside the wall. Curious, she followed the noise and found an envelope stuck in the crack between two bricks. She carefully removed it, only to discover that it contained a note apologizing for the disturbance—signed by none other than Santa Claus himself, who claimed he’d been testing his new reindeer’s flying skills. The postal worker smiled, shook her head, and posted both items safely before locking up for the night.
