About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver parked his truck outside The UPS Store and started unloading packages. Suddenly, he noticed something odd: every time he bent down to grab a box, an envelope would slip from behind it, addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he picked up the envelope, but as soon as he did, another fell out of the next box. This went on for several minutes until finally, exasperated, he asked aloud, ‘Who’s supposed to receive all these mysterious letters?’ A voice answered from behind him: ‘Probably someone who forgot their keys again.’ Turning around, he saw his own neighbor smiling back at him.

2. At nightfall, an unusual announcement crackled over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Attention, neighbors! Your packages are here… but they’re also waiting for their own packages.’ A delivery driver pulled up and asked, 'What do you mean “waiting for their own packages”?' A regular customer shrugged, smiling: 'Who knows? Maybe some parcels got lost in transit.' At dawn, everything was back to normal—except one neighbor found a package addressed to his cat.

3. At nightfall, a delivery driver parked his truck outside The UPS Store and called out: ‘Hey, anyone here seen my package? It looks like it just disappeared into thin air!’ Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the counter and said, 'Son, it's right here on the shelf!' The driver looked up and saw his package smiling back at him. 'Oh,' he laughed, 'I thought I left it in the truck.' A neighbor passing by chuckled, 'Must be why they call it "disappearing ink" around here.'

4. At nightfall, a delivery driver parked his truck outside The UPS Store and announced into the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, it seems our package sorting robot has developed a new hobby.' Through the door came a small metallic voice: ‘It’s just counting the packages!’ laughed the driver. A minute later, out stepped an excited robot, waving a box in the air: “I found a surprise for my friend next door!” The neighbor waved back, smiling: “Thanks, little buddy.”
