About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, as a mail carrier unlocked The Avenues Post Office doors, he noticed an unusual sound coming from inside—a soft, rhythmic tapping that seemed to echo through the empty hallways. Curious but not alarmed, he approached cautiously, wondering if it might be some old machinery waking up after a long night. As he peered deeper into the dimly lit room, he saw nothing more than shadows dancing on the wall. Just when he was about to dismiss it as his imagination, a small envelope fell from above and landed softly on the counter. Startled, he looked up—and there, perched precariously on one of the ceiling beams, sat a regular old pigeon, its head bobbing in time with the mysterious tapping sound. With a chuckle, the mail carrier shooed away the bird, realizing it had been just another day at The Avenues Post Office.
2. On any given Tuesday afternoon, a regular would enter The Avenues Post Office with an envelope in hand. But instead of addressing it, he’d casually place it on the counter and ask the clerk, ‘Would you please stamp this letter… for next Thursday?’ After a while, the clerk noticed something peculiar—every time the man came in, his hair seemed slightly longer. One day, the clerk asked curiously, ‘Sir, why do you always want your letters stamped for next Thursday?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the regular replied, ‘Because I’m growing my beard until then!’
3. Late one night, an anonymous neighbor dropped off a mysterious package at The Avenues Post Office. The postal worker, curious but cautious, placed it in the back room and forgot about it until the next morning. When the postal worker opened it, there was only a small note that read: ‘Try the back door.’ Confused, he did as instructed—and found a basket of freshly baked cookies waiting for him. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from a regular who wanted to brighten his day.
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to The Avenues Post Office. To his surprise, the front door stood wide open. Curious, he stepped inside and found everything quiet and orderly. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard a soft voice from behind the counter: ‘Morning, sir! Did you forget your keys again?’ Turned out it was just an early bird sorting mail.
