About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, a regular overheard him whispering something strange into his walkie-talkie. The regular leaned in curiously and asked what was going on. The driver whispered back, ‘It’s top secret, but I think it might be a new kind of mail-order coffee.’ Sure enough, when they opened the package later that day, there was a bag of beans labeled ‘World’s Strongest Coffee’. The whole neighborhood got hooked, and now every morning someone can be seen running to Fields Corner Post Office for their daily fix.’

2. A curious stamp collector noticed something peculiar one day as she browsed through old envelopes in her mailbox. Every letter she received seemed to carry a rare stamp from Fields Corner Post Office. One day, a delivery driver joked that maybe the postmaster had a secret collection of stamps he was sneaking into everyone’s mail. This led to an impromptu contest among neighbors—whoever could spot the rarest stamp won a free coffee from the local bakery. Soon enough, the whole neighborhood was poring over their letters like detectives, and the quiet post office became the centerpiece of community gossip.

3. One foggy afternoon, a mail carrier delivered a mysterious package marked only ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ As he left, he muttered something about it being addressed to Fields Corner itself. Ever since then, locals started joking that maybe Fields Corner had an unseen address book—or even a secret PO box. One old-timer claimed his cat brought home a letter once, though nobody ever read what was inside. To this day, whenever someone misdelivers a package, everyone in town asks: “Did you check with Fields Corner?”

4. One autumn morning, a regular stopped by Fields Corner Post Office for stamps. Among the usual envelopes and letters on the counter, he spotted something odd—a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Curious, he took it home and opened it later that day. Inside was another note: 'Please return to sender, as I’m not ready to receive this yet.' The regular laughed and did just that—next morning, the same envelope appeared again on the counter.'}
