About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bulletin board inside Tile Cross Post Office. ‘Free tiles for anyone who can solve our mystery,’ read the handwritten note. Curiosity piqued, locals started dropping by every day. It turned out that an elderly neighbor had written the note after losing a bet with his friends. He claimed he could predict exactly when someone would finally solve the riddle and win the tiles—turning out to be himself, as he was the one who placed them there in the first place! Everyone laughed it off as just another quirky Tile Cross tale.
2. A regular customer entered the Tile Cross Post Office one afternoon and exclaimed, ‘I just can’t believe it! They’ve run out of those funny-shaped stamps again!’ The postmaster shook his head with a smile and replied, ‘Oh no, Mr. Jones, they’re not out of them—we just haven’t received any new stock yet.’ A delivery driver overheard this and laughed, saying, ‘Same thing happens every time someone mentions those stamps!’ The regular customer nodded knowingly, chuckling as he left, happy that his favorite quirks were still intact.
3. At dawn, when most mailboxes were empty, someone began leaving mysterious notes in the Tile Cross Post Office's mail slots. One note read: ‘Your package has arrived—please collect it from the moon.’ A delivery driver soon found himself explaining to a confused neighbor that no, he wasn’t delivering anything from space today. The mystery continued until an anonymous note finally appeared: ‘Mail service restored—thank you for your patience!’ Everyone laughed and went on with their day.
4. At first light, before anyone else stirred, an old mailbox down the road from Tile Cross Post Office started humming like a beehive. Neighbors peeked out their windows but saw no one. The hum grew louder and more insistent until finally, a small envelope fluttered out of the slot. A neighbor, thinking it was some sort of practical joke, rushed over with a broomstick, only to discover that the letter carried a simple message: 'Dear All, Today’s Mail Delivery Service is on Honeymoon.'
