About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he parked his truck next to the University Center Post Office: ‘I’ll be damned if I ever see another package that size again.’ Since then, locals claim they’ve seen strange packages arriving at odd hours—some so big they block entire aisles. Finally, one evening a neighbor walked in and asked curiously, ‘What on earth is taking up half your space today?’ The clerk smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh, just our new record-breaking oversized package—it’s for an ailing professor who needed some special equipment.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another day at the University Center Post Office.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near the University Center Post Office and noticed something unusual in one of the mailboxes. Curious, he bent down to inspect it closer—only to discover an envelope addressed not to anyone specific but labeled simply 'For Whom It May Concern.' The delivery driver opened the envelope carefully, expecting to find some kind of mistake or prank. Instead, there was a handwritten note inside: 'Dear Friend, please deliver this letter to yourself.' A regular passing by chuckled and said, ‘Looks like someone forgot their own address again!’

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near the University Center and noticed something odd. A small dog emerged from beneath the mailboxes, wagging its tail excitedly and sniffing around. The delivery driver smiled and knelt down, offering a treat. To everyone’s surprise, the little dog bounded over to him, wagging even harder and wearing an old university sweatshirt with ‘UC’ emblazoned on it. Turned out, someone had accidentally left it in one of the mail slots earlier that day. The driver laughed, thinking how perfect it was—an unexpected campus mascot, delivered right to their doorstep.

4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the University Center Post Office. As he stepped out, a mysterious shadow darted across the streetlight, causing him to flinch and drop a stack of letters. The delivery driver bent down to pick up the scattered mail, muttering under his breath. Suddenly, an envelope slipped from his grasp and floated into the air like a magic trick, landing neatly in the mailbox next door. Startled, he looked around, but nobody was there except for a sleepy-looking cat watching from the nearby bench. Shaking his head, he finished his route, thinking it must’ve been just another late-night prank by a local mischief-maker.
