About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Birmingham Post Office, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. His dog, usually sleepy and docile, would suddenly perk up its ears and start barking frantically whenever he approached a certain corner of the building. Curious, the driver followed his dog’s gaze one day and saw an old man watering flowers outside the post office. The next morning, as soon as the man appeared again, the dog went nuts. Turned out, the old guy had a secret stash of treats in his pocket, which he discreetly fed the canine each time he saw him. So every sunrise, the dog was just waiting for his little snack from the friendly neighbor.
2. At the Birmingham Post Office, every morning around sunrise, an announcement would mysteriously come over the PA system: ‘Please return your flying saucer to the lost and found.’ One day, a delivery driver walked in, frantically searching for his missing package. The clerk smiled and pointed towards the lost-and-found counter: 'Sir, you might want to check here—we’ve had several similar ones lately.' The driver looked puzzled until he noticed the sign: ‘Flying Saucers—$5 Deposit.’
3. At the Birmingham Post Office, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver began noticing strange letters in the mail. Who were they addressed to? One day, the delivery driver found an envelope addressed simply to ‘The Quiet Man’. Curious, he opened it and discovered a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please deliver this letter to Mr. Nobody, who lives next door.’ From then on, whenever there was silence during the afternoon rush, everyone would hear someone whispering into the intercom: “Is Mr. Nobody here?” The whole neighborhood started laughing so much that even the postmaster joined in, saying, ‘Maybe we should start delivering mail based on where people are, not where they live!’
4.
