A regular, bundled in an oversized coat and hat, kept appearing at dawn, leaving without ever entering the building.

From then on, whenever packages were slow, everyone joked that maybe the mysterious visitor was just checking his own mail from another dimension.

A neighbor had left their bicycle leaning there, but its handlebars were pointing straight up in the air—like it was trying to ride itself.

Since then, locals joke that Roslindale Post Office has the world’s only stationary yet fully operational bike.
