About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed an old envelope taped to the bulletin board inside the post office. Curious, he tore it open and found a crumpled note reading ‘Free stamps for good deeds.’ Smiling, he decided to help out around town—delivering groceries to elderly neighbors, fixing bikes for kids, even walking dogs for busy professionals. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire, and soon every mailbox in Columbia had its own little stash of free stamps. The postal worker, amused but not surprised, simply added another sign: 'No stamp needed for acts of kindness.'
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the post office and noticed something peculiar: a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the open window. Curious, he peered inside and saw an elderly gentleman in a plaid shirt, humming softly as he arranged letters on the counter. ‘Oh,’ said the man with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I bake these every Thursday for our regulars.’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, realizing why everyone always seemed so cheerful when collecting their mail.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the post office and noticed a small dog frantically barking at something on the counter. As he approached, he saw an old envelope with ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ written in big letters. Curious, he picked it up—and out popped a tiny letter, which read: “Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this urgent message to Mr. Johnson.” Inside was another note from a neighbor asking for sugar. The delivery driver burst out laughing so hard that the little dog joined him, wagging its tail.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the post office and noticed something unusual on the parking lot: a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, with no return address or label. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. After hours of searching, no one claimed it. Finally, an old lady approached the counter next morning and asked for her ‘special package’ addressed simply as ‘To My Neighbor’. Everyone laughed when they realized it was meant for someone living right across the street.
