About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bulletin board inside David Cox Road Post Office. ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess what’s written backwards on our sign,’ it read. Since then, every day after lunch, locals gather to decipher the mystery message. Finally, one clever local flipped the sign upside down and exclaimed, 'It says "Open Soon"!' Everyone burst out laughing—except the postmaster, who was still trying to figure out how to make free donuts disappear from the budget.
2. A curious delivery driver noticed an envelope taped to the door one rainy afternoon. Curiosity piqued, he picked it up and found it addressed simply to ‘Postmaster, care of David Cox Road Post Office.’ The envelope contained a handwritten note: 'Dear Postmaster, please deliver this letter to no one.' The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, never thinking much of it again. Until, that is, he received another anonymous note two weeks later—this time with directions to a local pub, where he discovered a group of neighbors celebrating his sense of humor.
3. One day, while sorting mail in the quiet corner of David Cox Road Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something unusual scribbled on the wall: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess the secret word.’ Curiosity piqued, everyone started guessing—‘Liberty!’ ‘Independence!’—but no luck. The mystery word remained elusive until someone finally whispered, ‘Monday.’ Finally, after hours of head-scratching, an old lady named 'a neighbor' entered and confidently said, 'Mail Day!' Everyone burst out laughing because it was indeed Monday—a day when they received their much-loved postal deliveries. Since then, every Monday became Donut Day at David Cox Road Post Office.
4. A little girl walked into the post office with her grandmother one autumn afternoon. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at a small package wrapped in brightly colored paper and ribbon. ‘Grandma,’ she whispered, ‘is that for me?’ The clerk smiled warmly and shook his head. 'No, sweetheart,' he said gently. 'It's for our local delivery driver.' The little girl frowned thoughtfully, then turned to her grandmother with big eyes. 'But Grandma,' she asked softly, 'why would someone send him such pretty wrapping?' Her grandmother laughed softly and replied, 'Because, darling, that's just how they say “thank you” here in David Cox Road.'
