About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was sorting packages one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar. A regular customer kept arriving early every morning, carrying an enormous envelope under his arm and disappearing into the post office. Finally, the curious driver decided to follow him one day. Turned out, the man was delivering homemade cookies wrapped in that giant envelope—an annual tradition for his favorite postal worker.

2. A sign on the door read: ‘Last Call for Letters Bound for Tomorrow.’ Curious neighbors began noticing that envelopes and letters left after closing time mysteriously arrived exactly on time. Soon enough, a regular noticed that his letter to Aunt Matilda in Florida had arrived two days early. The town buzzed with excitement until one day, a delivery driver casually mentioned, 'Hey, I just drop them off before my shift ends.' Turns out, everyone was sending their mail to themselves!

3. Have you heard about the old man who started visiting the Columbus Post Office every morning? He’d walk in, ask for an envelope, and then carefully seal it shut without ever writing anything inside. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked curiously, ‘Sir, why do you always come here with that sealed envelope?’ The old man smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘I’m sending letters to my past self, telling him not to miss these beautiful sunrises.’ The driver nodded knowingly, thinking maybe everyone has their own way of appreciating life’s simple joys.

4. Have you heard about the old lady who used to come to the Columbus Post Office every morning? She’d stand there, staring at the clock above the counter, and no one knew why. One day, a delivery driver noticed her and asked, ‘Ma’am, what time does the mail really start?’ With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Sonny, it starts when I say so!’ And they both laughed until a nearby neighbor joined in, saying, ‘She’s been doing that for years—keeps us all company.’
