About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed an old, dusty globe sitting on the counter next to the stamps. It wasn’t there yesterday, he swore. Soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood started dropping by just to check if the globe had moved. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s aliens’—and before you knew it, JT Weeker became Chicago’s unofficial UFO hotline.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one afternoon and noticed something peculiar—a small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper, had mysteriously appeared among the mailbags. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and opened the box. Inside was a note that read: ‘Dear JT Weeker, please accept our humble gift—one week’s supply of homemade cookies from your friendly neighborhood.’ Turns out, a regular had been dropping off boxes of freshly baked treats every Thursday for months, without anyone noticing.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one day and asked curiously, ‘Why does this post office keep a giant wooden owl perched outside?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, that's just our good-luck charm. They say it helps packages find their way home.' The delivery driver nodded skeptically but couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that sometimes even the most unusual things bring people together.
4. A curious neighbor once asked the postal clerk: ‘Do you ever get packages addressed to “ JT Weeker, Chicago, IL, Planet Earth”?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, that’s Mr. Weeker, our most frequent customer. He always signs for his parcels with a big smile.' A delivery driver then walked in, handing over a package marked simply: "JT Weeker, Chicago, IL, Universe". The neighbor laughed, shaking his head, while everyone knew it was just another day at the JT Weeker International Service Center.
