About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver was making his rounds one foggy morning when he noticed an old man standing outside the Brooklyn Post Office with a strange smile on his face. The driver slowed down, curious, and saw that the man had somehow managed to attach a small mailbox to his bicycle. The driver smiled, thinking it was some local prank. As he drove past, the old man pedaled gently, the little mailbox bobbing along like a tiny ship on misty waters. That evening, several neighbors spotted him delivering mail to their doors—all addressed in childish handwriting: ‘To My Best Friend.’
2. One day, a regular asked the clerk at Brooklyn Post Office, ‘Why do you always stamp letters with such a smile?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Because every letter deserves a happy journey!’ Later that week, an anonymous note arrived at the post office stamped with the same cheerful smile, addressed simply to ‘the happiest man in Brooklyn.’
3. One afternoon, while waiting in line, a neighbor turned to the clerk and asked, 'Do you ever get letters addressed to “The Missing Person”?' The clerk smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh yes, that’s our most mysterious address. It always arrives on time, never gets lost.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘And it’s always signed simply, “Someone who found your letter.”’ Everyone laughed, realizing how absurd yet comforting these anonymous messages were.
4. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early to the Brooklyn Post Office. As he parked his truck, he noticed something odd—a small package wrapped in brown paper with no address or return label. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside. The package was heavy, so he opened it carefully. Inside lay a note that read: 'Dear Mailman, please deliver this letter to everyone you know.' Underneath were twenty dollars and a smiley face drawn in marker. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and decided to follow the instructions—delivering happiness one neighbor at a time.
