About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gilbert Post Office and noticed something odd: a small dog was standing on its hind legs, staring intently through the window. The mailman waved, but the pup just barked once more and trotted away, leaving behind an envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Sees This’. Curious, the delivery driver picked up the envelope and read the note inside: 'Dear Mailman, I’m bored today. Please deliver this letter to someone who needs a smile.' Turning around, he saw the whole neighborhood laughing and waving from their porches. That day, Gilbert Post Office became famous for delivering not only letters, but also good cheer.’
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Gilbert Post Office and noticed an unusual queue forming outside. The line stretched around the block, but no one seemed to be buying stamps or sending letters. As he approached, he heard someone whispering, ‘It’s not for stamps or letters—it’s for the new mail slot!’ Turns out, a regular had accidentally ordered a giant metal mailbox online, thinking it was for their garden. Everyone burst into laughter when they realized the whole line was waiting for the same oversized package.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Gilbert Post Office and noticed a sign on the door reading, ‘Closed for Lunch—Please Mail Your Letters to Santa Claus Directly.’ The delivery driver chuckled and thought, 'Santa must be running late!' So he gathered everyone’s letters and drove them across town to the nearest open post office. Later that evening, a regular stopped by the Gilbert Post Office and asked curiously why there was an extraordinarily long line of children waiting outside. The clerk smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘They’re all here to mail their letters directly to Santa.’
4. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Gilbert Post Office and noticed a small dog frantically barking at the mailboxes. The dog's owner, a little girl, rushed out calling its name, but no one seemed to be listening—all eyes were on the mailbox that kept opening and closing on its own. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walked over and calmly said, ‘That’s just old Mr. Mailbox, he does that every time someone forgets their letter.’ Everyone laughed, including the little girl who realized her mistake. From then on, whenever anyone saw Mr. Mailbox behaving oddly, they’d smile and say, “He must’ve forgotten his keys again!”
