About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bulletin board inside the United States Post Office. It read: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess the weight of our new mail truck.’ Curiosity piqued, he took out his scale and waited. Finally, an old lady approached with a smile. She picked up a donut, held it next to her ear and declared: 'Twenty-three hundred pounds!' Everyone burst into laughter—including the delivery driver, whose truck weighed exactly two thousand three hundred pounds. The lady got her free donut, and everyone had a good laugh.

2. One day, an elderly lady entered the post office and approached the counter with a strange request. She asked the clerk if she could send a letter ‘to the person who lives in the mailbox.’ The clerk smiled and politely explained that mailboxes are for receiving letters, not sending them. But every afternoon after that, another envelope appeared in the same mailbox, addressed exactly the same way. Finally, one curious delivery driver decided to investigate. He found an old man sitting nearby, dozing off under a tree. When he woke up, the driver asked him why he was 'mailing' himself letters. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, 'Oh, I just like getting mail!'

3. Early one foggy morning, a postal worker arrived at the post office to find a mysterious package wrapped in old newspapers and tied with string. Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing inside an old letter addressed to ‘The Mayor of Foggy Hill.’ The note read: ‘Dear Sir, please deliver this message to everyone you know. We’re having a potluck at my place tonight—bring anything you like!’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood gathering organized by a friendly retiree.

4. One afternoon, while sorting mail in the United States Post Office, a young clerk overheard an old man muttering under his breath: ‘Why does every letter I send end up here?’ Smiling politely, the young clerk replied, 'Sir, that's because you're our most loyal customer!' The old man nodded wisely and left, shaking his head with a twinkle in his eye. From then on, whenever he visited the post office, everyone greeted him warmly, knowing they’d see each other again soon.
