About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the United States Post Office, a regular shouted one day, ‘I just got a letter from myself!’ Everyone laughed, but then noticed he seemed serious. Ever since, people say they’ve seen envelopes addressed to no one in particular. Soon after, a delivery driver found an envelope with his own picture on it and wondered aloud if someone was playing a prank. A neighbor stopped by later that week with two letters—one for herself and another labeled simply, ‘To Me.’ Everyone had a good laugh, realizing that maybe the post office wasn’t so mysterious after all.

2. At the United States Post Office, every morning around sunrise, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the mail sorting room. No one knew whose it was or why it started, but soon everyone in town began stopping by before work to listen for it. One day, an old delivery driver named Joe decided to investigate. He tiptoed into the sorting room just as the humming started, and found himself face-to-face with a tiny bluebird perched on top of a pile of letters. The bird chirped cheerfully and flew away, leaving behind only a small note that read: ‘Morning tune for a busy day!’ Since then, whenever anyone asked where the sound came from, they’d smile and say, ‘It’s our little postal songbird.’

3. At the United States Post Office, an elderly gentleman asked one day, "Why does the mailman always wave at that old oak tree outside?" A friendly delivery driver replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘That’s because it’s our secret signal to meet up for coffee after work!’ The old man nodded wisely and said, ‘I see… so you’re not just delivering mail, but also spreading good cheer.’

4. At the United States Post Office, every afternoon after closing time, a soft tinkling sound could be heard from the empty hallway. One evening, an elderly neighbor stopped in to ask what the noise was. The postal clerk smiled and whispered, 'It's just Mr. Smith, our night janitor, playing his harmonica while he cleans.' Everyone laughed, realizing that the mysterious sound had been nothing more than good old-fashioned American music.
