Kenmore Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while sorting mail, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the post office. At first, he thought it must be his imagination, but soon others started noticing too. Soon enough, everyone in the post office was distracted by the smell, even the grumpiest old aunts who usually never smiled. Someone suggested it might be a neighbor’s oven accidentally left on, but no one could figure out whose house it was coming from. In the end, they decided to bake their own batch of cookies together—just to see if they could recreate that magical scent. And ever since then, every Wednesday at 3 p.m., you can find them baking cookies as a team.

2. In the early afternoon, a postal worker was surprised when an envelope addressed to ‘The Lucky One’ floated out of the sorting machine and landed on her desk. She opened it curiously—it contained only a single folded note reading: 'You’re the lucky one today!' She smiled, thinking it must be some prank, until she saw the return address: it was from the local bakery down the street. Turns out, they were celebrating her as their newest loyal customer.'

3. In the middle of a routine day, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention please—we’ve received a package addressed simply as “Future Generations.” If anyone knows its whereabouts, please contact us immediately.’ The whole town burst into laughter when it turned out that ‘Future Generations’ was actually a package for a local history enthusiast who had ordered a time capsule from the future—a prank organized by his neighbors.

4. One morning, while sorting letters on the counter, a delivery driver found an unusual package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he placed it aside for inspection later. As he unwrapped it, out popped a small cardboard box filled with cookies and a note reading: ‘Sorry for the delay, Kenmore! Enjoy!’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s prank—she’d been teasing everyone about mysterious packages all week.
