Midwood Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Why does everyone always wave at that old lady across from the Midwood Post Office?’ Curious, he pulled over and waved back. The old lady smiled warmly and said, 'Morning, honey! Just saying thanks for delivering my packages so promptly.' Turns out she was the kindest soul in town, and everyone else had been waving because they thought she was waving at them!'

2. At closing time one day, an elderly lady whispered to her neighbor: 'Did you notice how every mailman here waves exactly three times?' Her neighbor shrugged and replied, ‘I never noticed that.’ They both laughed softly as they walked out together. The next morning, a delivery driver casually mentioned over coffee, “Hey, did y’all see that old lady who thought our wave was some secret signal? She kept waving back three times!”

3. At closing time one day, a mail carrier muttered under his breath: "I wonder if anyone ever actually uses this place?" Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked for stamps. The carrier blinked, surprised, and said, ‘Really? After all these years?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘Yes, I’ve been meaning to send a letter to my granddaughter.’ The postal worker shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes life’s most important messages arrive when you least expect them.’

4. One afternoon, as packages were being sorted, a voice crackled over the intercom: "Attention all employees—your letters today are unusually eager to get home." Since then, workers claim they can hear whispers and rustling envelopes after hours. One evening, a delivery driver heard a soft tap on his truck window. Peering out, he saw an envelope waving its corner, insisting it needed to be delivered immediately. The next day, everyone brought their mailboxes outside, waiting for more impatient envelopes.
