A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Station post office and noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the door, it seemed to creak in exactly the same way—a soft, almost musical hum that grew louder as he got closer. Finally, curious and a bit spooked, he decided to follow the sound inside. To his surprise, sitting on top of an empty box was a tiny postal elf, humming gently and sorting letters with its little hands. The driver laughed, realizing it was just a quirky local legend come to life—until he heard another delivery guy swearing outside, complaining about his mailbox again.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Station post office and noticed something odd: every time he left his truck’s headlights on for too long, they mysteriously turned off. Curious, the driver asked an old neighbor passing by if she’d seen anything unusual. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Oh yes, I saw those lights go out like clockwork every night!’ Turns out, her cat had taken it upon himself to turn off the headlights as payback for being kept indoors during thunderstorms. The moral of the story? Even postal workers can’t escape feline revenge.’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Station post office and noticed an envelope with no return address. Curious, he opened it—only to discover a handwritten note reading: ‘Leave package here for Mr. Johnson.’ But there was no such person. The next morning, the driver found a note taped inside his truck: 'Mr. Johnson lives around the corner.' He laughed, shook his head, and left the package with a friendly neighbor who happened to be watering her plants. Turns out, old Mr. Johnson had moved away years ago, but everyone still jokes that his packages mysteriously appear every now and then.'
4. Early in the morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Station post office. The mail truck’s headlights illuminated an unexpected sight: a small, furry creature scurrying across the parking lot. Curious, the driver slowed down and watched as the little critter darted into a nearby mailbox. With a gentle smile, he thought, ‘Must be a new university student—mailbox key still in his paws!’
