About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered the United States Post Office and approached the counter with a strange request. ‘I’d like to send this package,’ he said, holding up a small box wrapped in brown paper. The clerk raised an eyebrow as she scanned it. ‘Where would you like it delivered?’ ‘To North Pole,’ replied the old man calmly. After some confusion, the clerk finally agreed to take on such an unusual task. Later that day, a delivery driver found himself driving through snow-covered streets, delivering packages not just to houses but also to chimneys and porches—all in preparation for a very special holiday.

2. One day, while a mail carrier was sorting letters in the United States Post Office, he noticed something peculiar on one of the envelopes: it had been addressed not just to a person but to ‘Luckiest Person Alive.’ Curious, the carrier decided to deliver it personally. When he knocked on the door and asked if anyone was Luckiest Person Alive, an old lady peered out, wearing an expression that said she’d heard it all before. She smiled warmly and invited him in for tea, saying, 'You’re here because you’re the luckiest delivery driver today!'

3. A neighborhood kid was delivering newspapers early one morning when he noticed something odd inside the United States Post Office. The mailboxes seemed to be moving slightly as if someone were opening them from within. Curious, he peered inside and saw only empty boxes. Suddenly, a small envelope popped out of nowhere and landed on his head with a soft thud. Startled, he looked around but found no one. From that day on, whenever anyone asked him why he always wore a hat, he’d just smile and say, ‘It’s for good luck!’

4. One afternoon, as a postal worker was preparing packages for delivery, she noticed a strange note taped inside every envelope: ‘Deliver this package to yourself.’ Confused and intrigued, she decided to follow the instructions on one of them. Later that evening, her neighbor knocked on her door with a package addressed to 'herself.' They both laughed, realizing it was just another prank from an anonymous colleague. Since then, whenever there's a slow day at work, they organize little surprise deliveries for each other.
