Goin’ Postal

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one Friday, a regular approached the counter with an unusual request. He asked the clerk if he could please hold his package until Monday morning—because he needed it delivered ‘expressly’ to his house on Sunday night. The clerk raised an eyebrow but agreed, thinking it was just another quirky customer request. Come Monday morning, the man collected his package and left in a hurry. Later that day, a delivery driver arrived asking if they had seen a large box marked ‘urgent’. The clerk shook their head, prompting the driver to mutter under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll deliver it expressly to myself.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Goin’ Postal on a Tuesday morning, puzzled by the strange humming sound coming from inside. As he approached the entrance, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the open door—something completely out of place for a post office. Inside, a regular was sorting letters while humming along to an old folk song. The delivery driver asked him if everything was okay, and the man replied cheerfully, ‘Oh yes, I’m just helping Santa deliver presents early!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was simply another quirky day at Goin’ Postal.

3. A neighbor stopped by every afternoon to mail his garden seeds. One day, he asked the clerk if stamps could grow like beans. The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Not exactly, sir. But I do have some special seeds for you—free of charge.’ The next week, everyone in town received a package with a letter saying, “Happy planting season from Goin’ Postal!” And ever since then, our local post office became known as the friendliest place around.

4. A postal worker arrived early one Monday morning, only to discover that someone had left a mysterious package addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This Mailbox.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside an old letter sealed with a smiley-face stamp. It read: 'Dear Postman, today is your lucky day—you’ve been promoted to mailman!' Everyone in town still talks about how his whole week was spent delivering happy letters instead of bills.
