About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most postal workers were just arriving, an old man began appearing outside the United States Post Office. He’d sit on a bench, wearing an old fedora and carrying a small leather pouch. One day, a young delivery driver noticed him and asked, ‘Sir, do you work here?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘No son, I’m just waiting for my package.’ Everyone laughed, realizing he was simply another neighborhood regular. From then on, everyone looked forward to seeing him each morning—even if his packages never arrived.
2. In the early morning, before anyone else had arrived, a mysterious poster appeared on the bulletin board inside the post office. It read: ‘Letters delivered twice? Return them here.’ Soon enough, people started bringing in envelopes and packages marked with double stamps or multiple addresses. A regular would drop off an extra letter for his friend who lived down the street, while a delivery driver returned two identical bills. Before long, the postmaster joked that they needed another sorting room just for these 'double deliveries'. And so, every day at precisely eight o'clock sharp, an old man wearing reading glasses sorted through piles of duplicated mail, whispering, 'Who sent you twice?'
3. Late one night, while the mail trucks were unloading, a faint humming sound started coming from inside the post office. No one could identify its source, but it grew louder each day. Finally, an old delivery driver noticed that the humming matched the frequency of his favorite radio station. Turns out, the signal was just bouncing off the metal walls. From then on, whenever someone asked what caused the strange noise, everyone would smile and say, 'Oh, that's just our little postal radio show.'
4. In the middle of the afternoon, as customers were picking up their packages, someone noticed a small envelope taped to the glass door. Curious eyes peered inside—it read: ‘Open only if you’re late for work.’ Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Sorry I’m late—here’s your package!' Turned out it was from a neighbor who’d accidentally locked himself out and missed his own delivery time.'
