About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone in Bend always wave at that old lady standing near the post office?’ She smiles warmly and waves back, saying, 'Oh, hello dear! I'm just waving at the mailboxes—each one is like an old friend!' The delivery driver scratches his head, confused but amused. From then on, whenever he sees her, he waves too, thinking maybe she's not so crazy after all.
2. One day, an elderly lady approached the counter with a strange package. The clerk asked curiously, 'What’s inside?' She replied mysteriously, 'It’s a letter from my great-grandfather—sent back in time!' The clerk raised an eyebrow and said, ‘That sounds awfully interesting!’ Just then, another delivery driver walked in and joked, ‘Maybe it’s your great-grandfather’s reply to your complaint about slow service?’ Everyone laughed, and the old lady smiled, knowing she’d shared something special.
3. One afternoon, a small dog rushed into the post office, barking excitedly and sniffing around the mailboxes. A postal worker, startled but smiling, scooped up the little fellow and said, ‘Well, hello there! What brings you here today?’ The dog wagged its tail and trotted over to an old lady’s package, nudging it gently with his nose. A neighbor chuckled from behind the counter, remarking, ‘Looks like our furry friend is delivering something special!’
4. One day, while sorting mail on the loading dock, a young postal worker noticed something peculiar—a tiny envelope addressed simply to ‘The Dreamer, c/o Cloudland.’ Curious, she opened it to find a single feather and a note reading: ‘If you can deliver this dream, maybe one day you’ll understand why I had to go.’ She delivered the letter with great care, but when she tried to explain it to her supervisor, he just shook his head and said, 'Cloudland? More like Cloudcuckooland!' The story became a local joke among the workers—every time someone lost their way or forgot something, they’d say, 'Must be another package for The Dreamer.'
