About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Postal Annex, a regular once asked, ‘Why does the mailman always wave at that old tree?’ No one knew for sure, but soon everyone started noticing something odd—whenever he passed by, the branches seemed to move just slightly in response. Soon enough, word spread around town: the old tree was somehow communicating with our mailman. One day, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe it’s telling him where to deliver the packages!’ The next morning, the mailman arrived wearing earphones and nodding along to invisible tunes. Everyone burst out laughing when they saw him waving at the tree again—and realized he was dancing to its rustling leaves.

2. At the Postal Annex, a delivery driver exclaimed one day, ‘I’ve never seen so many packages addressed to “Mr. Invisible”!’ Word quickly spread around town that someone was receiving an extraordinary number of mysterious parcels. A curious neighbor asked Mr. Invisible if he needed help sorting through them all, only to receive a polite but vague reply. Months later, when deliveries finally slowed down, everyone realized they’d been sending gifts for a new baby in the neighborhood—an adorable surprise nobody had expected.

3. At the Postal Annex, on an unusually foggy morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, 'This place looks like it's swallowed by mist every time I come here!' As he approached the door, he noticed an old man waving frantically from inside. ‘Hey!’ called out the driver, ‘Are you okay?’ The man replied, grinning, ‘Just waiting for my package—can’t miss it in all this fog.’ And with that, they both laughed, realizing that sometimes life at the Postal Annex was as mysterious and comical as its surroundings.

4. At the Postal Annex, a delivery driver announced over the intercom one afternoon: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your mail today comes with a special surprise—everyone’s letters are addressed to “Dear Resident of Planet Earth.”’ A few minutes later, an old lady picked up her letter, confused but smiling. She read aloud: 'Dear Resident of Planet Earth, please return any unclaimed packages to the nearest alien embassy.' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another day at the Postal Annex.
