About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walked into Southside Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Where do letters go when they leave here?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘They fly away like birds.’ Suddenly, everyone noticed that every letter placed in the outgoing mail slot seemed to flutter off as if it had wings. Soon, people from all over town started bringing their letters personally, hoping for a little winged lift themselves. One old lady even brought her birthday card with a note saying, 'Please give my greetings extra wings!' Finally, one afternoon, a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe I should just drive around on two wheels—letters are flying everywhere!' Everyone laughed so hard that the real letters finally stopped trying to take flight.

2. One day, an old lady entered the Southside Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Have you seen my letter? I sent it yesterday!’ The clerk replied, ‘Ma’am, letters don’t walk themselves.’ The clerk smiled gently and added, ‘Maybe your letter took a detour for coffee or something.’ Just then, another delivery driver walked in, holding a large envelope with a smile on his face. He said, ‘Hey, did anyone send out a letter addressed to “Dear Coffee Shop”?’

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Southside Post Office with a package so large it looked like he could ride it to work. ‘What’s in here?’ someone asked curiously. ‘I dunno,’ said the driver with a smile, ‘maybe some kind of giant cookie or cake.’ A few minutes later, everyone gathered around as the package was opened—inside was just an enormous birthday card from a neighbor congratulating us on our patience!’

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Southside Post Office with a package so mysterious it looked like something out of a spy novel. As he approached the door, an old lady in a plaid dress peered curiously from behind the counter. 'What's in that box?' she asked with a twinkle in her eye. The driver shrugged and replied, 'Just another secret mission, ma'am.' She smiled warmly and said, 'Welcome to our little adventure, dear!'
