About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in Carrollton, when most post offices are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar happening outside the window. The mailboxes seemed to be moving slightly, as if someone or something were playing with them. Curious, the driver leaned closer and saw that it was just a neighborhood cat, playing with the metal flaps like they were toys. Smiling, he waved back at the furry intruder before locking up for the night. The next day, everyone in town knew about the ‘mailbox bandit,’ but no one minded—after all, who could resist such a mischievous feline?

2. At dusk in Carrollton, when most post offices are quiet, a delivery driver noticed that one of the mailboxes seemed to open on its own whenever children passed by. Curious, he watched from his truck as the mailbox opened wider and wider with each child’s step. Finally, an old lady walking her dog approached, and the box shut tight again. The next day, the delivery driver found a note in his locker: ‘Dear Sir, please close the door gently after yourself.’ Signed, A Regular.

3. At dusk in Carrollton, when most post offices are quiet, a delivery driver noticed an old dog sitting outside the door, patiently waiting for something that never came. The next day, another delivery driver arrived and brought the dog some treats, thinking it was just being friendly. It turned out the canine was actually guarding his mail-order pizza delivery—an order he’d placed weeks ago but had yet to receive.

4. At dusk in Carrollton, when most post offices are quiet, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the clerk with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Can you please hold my package for another hundred years? I’ll come back for it later.’ The clerk smiled warmly and replied, 'Absolutely sir, we'll keep your package safe until then!' The old man nodded, patted the clerk's shoulder, and said goodbye with a wink. To this day, some locals joke that if you leave something valuable at the Carrollton Post Office, just be sure to return within the next century.
