About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk in Dallas, when most people were heading home, an old man started visiting the Brookhollow Station post office every night. He’d quietly slip inside, grab a few envelopes from the counter, and leave without saying a word. No one noticed until one day, a delivery driver found himself delivering a package addressed simply: ‘To the quiet gentleman, c/o Dallas Post Office.’ Soon enough, neighbors began noticing packages addressed to ‘the quiet gentleman’ showing up on their porches. Turned out he was sending everyone birthday cards anonymously! The postal workers finally caught him red-handed—handing out cookies and smiling.
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bulletin board inside the post office: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess what’s missing from our sorting room.’ Curious, he posted a note with a simple riddle: 'What has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?' The whole town was buzzing—until an old neighbor walked in, grinned, and said, ‘It’s a postman!’ Turned out, they were just counting his steps: four when dragging his mailbag, two after losing it, and three when carrying a package.’
3. In the early hours of every Monday morning, a delivery driver arrived at the post office and found a mysterious package addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Curious, he opened it to discover a note reading: 'Please deliver this letter to someone who needs a good laugh today.' Inside was an old envelope containing another note that said simply: "Next time, check twice." The delivery driver shook his head, grinned, and went on his way, realizing that maybe some days, the best mail wasn’t even real.
4. At closing time, a postal worker locked up the last box but heard a strange noise from inside. Curious, he opened it and found only an old letter addressed to ‘Mr. Postman, Dallas’ with a stamp that said 1952. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, every Halloween, neighbors bring their kids to see the mysterious mailbox filled with vintage letters.
