About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was sorting packages when he noticed something strange: every fifth letter in the address book seemed to be missing. At first, no one paid much attention, but soon enough, mail started arriving with entire streets left blank. Soon, people began noticing that their bills and letters were addressed to ‘Parkdale Station, Dallas, TX,’ with nothing else. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess they’re trying out for the new James Bond movie!' Eventually, someone realized it was just an old typewriter issue—every fifth key was worn down—and everyone had a good laugh.
2. In the early afternoon, a postal worker was organizing mailboxes when she spotted an envelope addressed to ‘The Next Resident.’ Curious, she opened it and found a handwritten note inside: “Welcome to Parkdale Station—enjoy your stay!” Since then, locals claim that mysterious letters occasionally appear in unexpected places. One evening, a delivery driver noticed a package addressed simply to ‘Someone Who Needs This.’ Inside was a warm blanket and a note saying, ‘It’s cold outside—hope you’re cozy!’ Since then, whenever someone forgets their umbrella or needs a little comfort, they find small gifts left anonymously around town.
3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver was unloading mailbags when he heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the boxes. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a stack of old letters addressed to no one in particular. As he flipped through them, he noticed each letter had been written on the same day—January 1st—and all contained the exact same message: ‘Happy New Year!’ Turning around, he realized with a laugh that his colleague, a regular prankster, must’ve slipped those into the bags while everyone else was asleep.
4. At midnight, a delivery driver was loading mailbags into the truck when he heard a voice whispering: ‘Take me with you.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next day, several letters were missing from their envelopes. Soon enough, every night before closing time, the same eerie voice started asking for rides. Finally, the driver decided to comply and took along an old letter addressed to ‘Parkdale Station, Attn: Whispering Friend’. Next morning, everyone found a note stuck on his desk: ‘Thanks for the lift! Have a great weekend!’
