About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an unusual message scrawled on every package: ‘Please leave three minutes early for your next appointment.’ Strange but polite, he thought, until everyone started arriving exactly three minutes earlier. Soon enough, even the local postmaster began showing up three minutes before schedule. One day, a regular customer asked curiously why they were always there so early. With a smile, the postmaster replied, 'I guess someone’s been leaving us little reminders!'
2. Early one foggy morning, when Yardley Road Post Office usually sees few customers, a delivery driver found himself delivering letters addressed not to recipients but to 'The Lucky One'. Confused and curious, he knocked on the first door he saw. A gruff old man answered, took the letter without a word, and disappeared inside. The driver shrugged it off as an odd local custom. Later that day, while walking home, he received a friendly wave from none other than ‘the lucky one’—an elderly gentleman who lived across the street.
3. Early one foggy morning, when Yardley Road Post Office usually sees few customers, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The mailboxes had been rearranged in alphabetical order, and each envelope carried a handwritten note: 'Welcome to our secret library. Take one book, leave one book.' Curious, the delivery driver took out an old copy of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ and left behind his favorite childhood comic. Over time, more neighbors joined in, leaving books they’d read and borrowing ones they craved. Soon enough, the post office became known as Yardley Road Secret Library—an unexpected treasure trove hidden within plain sight.
4. Early one foggy morning, when Yardley Road Post Office usually sees few customers, a delivery driver found that each outgoing letter had been stamped with the same mysterious phrase: 'Mail this again tomorrow.' Confused and amused, the delivery driver showed it to a regular customer who happened to be a retired stamp collector. Together they deciphered the mystery: someone had accidentally used an old joke stamp from their childhood. The next day, everyone in town received their mail twice—one with the humorous message and another without. Since then, Yardley Road Post Office became known for its weekly ‘repeat delivery’ tradition.
