About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered the post office and approached the counter with a strange request. ‘I’d like to send a letter,’ he said, ‘but I want it to arrive exactly one week from today.’ The clerk raised an eyebrow but agreed to help. Since then, people have noticed something peculiar happening in the mailroom. From that day on, every Wednesday afternoon around 3 PM, a delivery driver would see an old man walking into the mailroom carrying a plain envelope. He’d hand it over to the clerk with a smile, whispering, 'For next Thursday's delivery.' And ever since, everyone jokes that maybe Uncle Sam has a secret calendar only he can see.
2. In the early morning, a postal worker arrived at the John F. Kennedy station to unload mail. Among the usual packages and letters, he noticed something peculiar—a small, dusty box labeled simply ‘Free Stamps.’ Curious neighbors soon began reporting finding identical boxes in their mailboxes or parked cars. As days passed, more and more people found these mysterious boxes. Some even started leaving them on each other’s porches as little jokes—‘free stamps’ became the latest neighborhood craze. Finally, one day, an overzealous delivery driver accidentally delivered a box of free stamps to himself, thinking it was just another package. And that, they say, is how the whole thing ended up back at the post office.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one afternoon, grumbling under his breath as he always did when it was hot outside. Suddenly, he noticed something odd—an envelope addressed simply to 'The Future President'. He opened it curiously and found a letter saying, ‘Dear Future President, could you please sign for this package?’ He laughed out loud, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll deliver it myself then.’
4. One day, a neighbor asked curiously, ‘Have you noticed how every Tuesday around noon, the mailboxes here start humming like bees?’ A regular shrugged and said, 'Nah, I just deliver letters—never heard nothin’ like that!' Then an old delivery driver chimed in with a twinkle in his eye, 'Well, sonny, maybe those boxes are trying to tell us something important.' The neighbor laughed it off, but ever since then, everyone jokes about secret messages from the mailboxes on Tuesdays.'
