About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver once exclaimed, 'This place is cursed!' after discovering that every fifth letter in the ZIP code spells out something unexpected. Upon closer inspection, it turned out those letters spelled out ‘SOS’, which everyone assumed was a mistake until someone noticed the local radio station had been broadcasting emergency signals on that frequency recently.
2. One morning, a postal worker found an old, dusty envelope on the counter. Curious, she opened it and discovered a handwritten note inside: ‘Deliver this letter only if you see three bluebirds flying together.’ Since then, locals claim that whenever someone delivers mail here, they catch fleeting glimpses of those elusive birds. Finally, one day, an enthusiastic delivery driver named Aloysius swore he saw not just three but an entire flock of bluebirds circling overhead. Excitedly, he rushed into the post office shouting, 'I did it! I delivered the letter AND saw the birds!' Everyone laughed—because it turned out Aloysius was simply waving at his own reflection in the window.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Cape Coral South Post Office one afternoon and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no address or markings. The delivery driver picked it up and carried it inside curiously. After a few minutes, an old lady approached him smiling warmly. ‘Oh, that’s mine!’ she said cheerfully. ‘Forgot I needed to mail my secret recipe for key lime pie.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone mailed something unusual, people joked it was her latest culinary creation.
4. A little boy walked into the Cape Coral South Post Office one day and pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Mom,’ he said, ‘why does this mailbox have a smiley face?’ The mom smiled and explained, 'That's not just any smiley face, honey. It's our friendly mailman who delivers your letters!' The little boy looked up curiously, 'Really? Can I meet him?' A nearby delivery driver overheard and waved cheerfully, 'Why sure you can, kiddo! I'll be happy to say hello.' And so began an annual tradition where kids from the neighborhood would visit the post office to greet their favorite mail carrier.
