About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone here wave at the same exact moment every morning?’ An old neighbor, overhearing the question, smiled and replied, 'They’re not waving at you— they’re waiting for their turn in line to use the payphone!' The delivery driver looked puzzled until he realized that Dallas’ oldest post office still had an active payphone.
2. A regular customer once exclaimed with a smile: ‘You know what’s odd? Every morning, the same old lady stamps our letters twice!’ Another day, another letter,” said a delivery driver, shaking his head. “She always asks us if it’s addressed correctly—even though she stamps it twice anyway!” A neighbor chimed in, smiling: ‘It’s like clockwork. She does it every time, never fails.’
3. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No return address, no label, just an old stamp reading ‘Happy Mailings.’ The delivery driver picked it up curiously and took it inside. Over the next few days, more packages arrived—all identical, all unsigned, but each bearing that same quirky stamp. Soon enough, neighbors started dropping off their own packages, adding notes like 'Best Wishes!' or 'Lovely Weather for Happy Mailings.' It turned out to be Dallas' first anonymous community mail art project, bringing joy and smiles to everyone who received one.
4. At dawn, when most postal workers were just arriving, an old man started appearing near the mailboxes. He’d quietly slip envelopes into random slots and then vanish before anyone could see him. One day, a delivery driver noticed something odd—envelopes kept disappearing mid-route. Turned out our mysterious envelope-slipper was actually a neighborhood cat named Whiskers, who loved playing with colorful letters. Now, whenever someone sees Whiskers near the mailboxes, they smile and wave, knowing he’s just having fun.
