About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the mail sorting area—a small package wrapped in plain brown paper, addressed simply to ‘The Fort Wayne Post Office.’ Curiosity piqued, he opened it to find… nothing but an old, crumpled note that read: ‘Take care of what you find here.’ Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver showed the note to his supervisor, who shrugged and said, 'We get strange stuff here every day.' The note was filed away, forgotten until months later when another employee found it while cleaning out an old drawer. She laughed and posted it on social media with the caption: "#fortwayne #mysterysolved -- turns out it's just us, delivering mail to ourselves!"}

2. One day, while waiting for his package, a regular at Fort Wayne Post Office overheard an unusual conversation between two postal workers. ‘Did you see what happened to Mr. Johnson’s letter today?’ asked one worker. The other replied with a smile, ‘It seems it got promoted—now it’s on a first-name basis with everyone!’ A few days later, another customer approached the counter and joked, 'So, did my letter get promoted too?' With a twinkle in their eye, the clerk responded, 'Absolutely! It’s now a VIP around here!' And ever since then, people started leaving letters with special requests—all hoping for that coveted status.

3. A curious delivery driver kept noticing strange letters arriving late at night. They were addressed to no one and had no return address. Finally, the driver decided to open one of the mysterious envelopes. Inside was a note inviting him to join a secret club for people who deliver happiness. Since then, every evening at dusk, a new letter arrived—always unsigned, always anonymous, but always bringing a smile to everyone’s face.

4. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled look on his face. The clerk asked if he needed assistance. ‘I just received a letter,’ he said, ‘addressed to “The Person Who Lost This Letter.”’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Sir, it looks like someone made a mistake.' They took the envelope and addressed it themselves. A few days later, the old man returned, beaming. 'It worked!' he exclaimed. 'The person who lost the letter found it!' Everyone in the post office laughed, realizing that sometimes life delivers its own happy endings.
