About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he sorted mail: ‘This is the third package today addressed to “Postmaster General, P.O. Box Infinity.”’ Finally, curiosity got the better of him, so he drove over to the mysterious address. There was nothing but an old, rusty mailbox with no number or street sign. The driver shrugged and wrote down 'No Delivery' on the form, then noticed a note stuck inside the box: "Dear Driver, thank you for your patience—we’re just testing out our new automated sorting system."}

2. Early one autumn morning, when fog lingered like a sleepy ghost over the small town, an elderly man walked into the post office with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and string. The clerk raised an eyebrow but didn’t ask questions. Later that day, as the delivery driver was leaving, he noticed the old man waving from his porch. ‘Just checking,’ said the man with a twinkle in his eye, holding up another identical package. The driver shook his head, smiling, knowing never to open mail marked ‘NDC.’

3. Late one night, a postal worker heard an unusual humming coming from inside the NDC. Curious, she approached the sound and found herself face-to-face with a mysterious bluebird delivering letters. The bird kept flapping its wings and dropping envelopes into her hands. She laughed, thinking it was some sort of prank until she saw the return address—all the letters were addressed to ‘Dear Friend.’ Finally, she asked, ‘Who am I supposed to deliver these to?’ The bluebird just winked and said, ‘Deliver them to yourself, silly!’

4. At midnight, a lone postal worker counted letters in the dimly lit room. Suddenly, a faint voice crackled over the intercom: 'Dear Sir or Madam, please deliver this package directly to Heaven's address.' The worker froze for a moment before realizing it was just the old lady next door, who often sent packages to her ‘heavenly family.’ With a smile, he picked up the envelope and whispered back into the intercom: ‘Considering your request, ma’am, I’ll make sure it arrives there promptly!’
