About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in Lafayette, but something strange happened at the post office. A delivery driver arrived with a package wrapped in brightly colored paper, and as he opened it, everyone noticed that inside was a tiny envelope addressed simply 'To Whom It May Concern'. Curiosity got the better of someone, and they decided to open it. Inside was another smaller envelope, which read: ‘Please deliver this to the first person who opens this letter.’ And so it went on—a never-ending chain of curiosity—until finally, one neighbor joked, ‘Maybe next time just write “Free donuts” on the outside!’

2. It was a chilly autumn afternoon when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the Lafayette Post Office. Every time he approached the building, the mailboxes seemed to whisper his name softly. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them clearly say, ‘Open me!’ Turning around, he saw no one but an old lady waving from her porch across the street, laughing gently. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and opened the mailbox—only to find a note reading: “Dear Mailman, please deliver happiness today!”

3. It was a quiet Tuesday morning when a postal worker opened the door to the mailroom and heard a faint humming sound. At first, he thought it might be the old heating system coming to life, but as he peered deeper into the stacks of envelopes, the hum grew louder—and more melancholy. Curious now, he followed the sound until he found an ancient envelope, sealed with wax, addressed to no one in particular. As soon as he touched it, everyone around him started singing ‘La Marseillaise’—only they were all wearing 18th-century costumes! Turns out, Lafayette’s ghost had left his mark on the post office after all. The end.

4. It was a typical Wednesday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the Lafayette Post Office. As he unloaded packages from his truck, he noticed something odd on the steps—a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. Curious, he picked it up and opened it carefully. Inside was another note: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver these packages to my house.' Below was an address scribbled in childish handwriting—his own home’s number! Turns out, little Timmy had accidentally sent his package to the wrong place.
