About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in the Southwest Carrier Annex, when most mailboxes were empty and only a lone delivery driver lingered, a mysterious package arrived. It had no return address, just a note scribbled on the side: ‘Open me if you dare.’ The delivery driver carefully opened the envelope inside, revealing a wrinkled piece of paper with an old drawing of a mailbox. Next to it was another note: 'This is your new route for today.' The driver chuckled, folded up the drawing, and went back to work—now delivering mail to a mailbox that didn’t even exist.

2. At dusk in the Southwest Carrier Annex, when most mailboxes were empty and only a few letters remained, a curious little girl named Emma noticed something odd. As she approached the counter, an envelope seemed to follow her with its own shadow, moving just slightly out of reach. Emma watched intently as the envelope hovered near the edge of the counter. Just then, an older delivery driver yawned and absentmindedly nudged it with his foot—sending the envelope flying into the air like a wayward pigeon. Everyone burst out laughing, including poor Emma who realized it was just an ordinary windy day in the annex.

3. At dusk in the Southwest Carrier Annex, when most mailboxes were empty and only dim lights illuminated the hallway, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the counter. A small, dusty box seemed out of place among the usual envelopes and packages. Curious, he picked it up and found an old, crumpled note inside reading: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s lost brown-bag special.}

4. At dusk in the Southwest Carrier Annex, when most mailboxes were empty and only a few packages remained, a regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s leaving those boxes here with no return address?’ Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver appeared from behind a stack of envelopes and replied, ‘That would be Santa Claus, sir—he always leaves his presents early!’ The regular laughed heartily, realizing it was just another quirky tradition of their small town.
