About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bulletin board inside Glendale Post Office. Among usual notices and reminders, someone had posted a handwritten sign reading: ‘Today is your lucky day—mail will be delivered twice!’ The delivery driver grinned, thinking it must be some prank by a regular customer. Later that day, when he returned, another note read: 'Mail today: once for everyone else, twice for you!' The rest of the town soon caught wind of it, and neighbors started dropping off each other’s packages at the post office just for fun. It became a quirky tradition until one fateful afternoon when the last notice read: “Today, no mail for anyone—we’re taking the day off to enjoy our double deliveries!”

2. One day, a postal worker found an old envelope stuck in the mail slot. Curious, she opened it and discovered a handwritten note that read: ‘Dear Glendale Post Office, please deliver happiness today.’ Since then, every week someone leaves a small surprise—a smiley face drawn on a package, a heart-shaped stamp, or even a free cookie for the staff. Finally, one week a delivery driver left behind a giant inflatable penguin wearing a Santa hat. Everyone thought it was hilarious—until they realized it wouldn’t fit through any of the mail slots anymore! The Glendale Post Office now proudly displays their 'holiday decoration' year-round.

3. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Glendale Post Office and noticed something unusual: every mailbox had been decorated with tiny flags, each one waving gently in the breeze. Curious, he walked inside and found an old man standing behind the counter, smiling warmly. 'Happy Independence Day!' said the man cheerfully. The delivery driver looked around puzzled—no holiday was nearing. Then he realized: it was just another Glendale tradition, where everyone celebrated everything, even if it wasn’t officially on the calendar.

4. At dusk one autumn evening, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the Glendale Post Office and noticed a peculiar shadow moving between the mailboxes. Curious, he got out of the truck and followed the shadow into the dimly lit hallway. There, amidst the stacks of letters and packages, stood an old cat with mismatched eyes, lazily stretching before returning to its postal patrol. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was just another local character, and drove off, leaving behind a legend about the Glendale Post Office’s resident mailmaster.
