About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk on Battleground Avenue, when most mailboxes are empty, a regular noticed something strange. A delivery driver kept leaving letters in one particular box—letters addressed to no one, with no return address. Soon enough, other neighbors started noticing these mysterious letters too. Turns out, the delivery driver was just practicing his secret hobby of writing heartfelt notes to strangers. By dawn, Battleground Avenue became known as ‘Mailbox Motivations Mile,’ and everyone looked forward to seeing what uplifting message would appear next.
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver was sorting letters in Battleground Avenue’s post office when he noticed an envelope addressed simply: ‘To Whom It May Concern, Please Deliver Immediately.’ The envelope contained only a single sheet of paper with handwritten words: 'Please deliver this letter to anyone who can understand it.' The delivery driver laughed and decided to mail it to his next-door neighbor, who always seemed confused but never complained. A week later, they received a package from the same address—an old puzzle book marked with a note: "Thank you for delivering my message!"
3. At midnight, a delivery driver sorted letters by street name—until he heard an unfamiliar whispering sound coming from Battleground Avenue's post office. Curious, he peeked inside and found no one there. The next day, every mailbox on that street received its mail twice. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Battleground Avenue, people would joke that maybe the ghost of a long-forgotten postal worker was sorting mail in his sleep. And so, every Halloween, neighbors left out extra treats for ‘the late Mr. Smith,’ just in case he popped by for some candy. It became a quirky tradition, reminding everyone that sometimes even post offices can be a little spooky—and sweet.
4. At sunset, a delivery driver sorted letters by zip code until he saw an envelope addressed simply: ‘To Whom It May Concern, Battleground Ave.’ Curious, he opened it and found only a single sheet of paper with a childish drawing of a mailbox and these words: ‘Please deliver this letter to anyone who lives on Battleground Ave.’ Turns out, every week someone new would leave such envelopes here—just little notes from kids asking for mailboxes as Christmas presents.’
