About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Unity Plaza Post Office when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The usually bustling mail sorting area had fallen eerily silent, replaced by the soft hum of bees buzzing around one corner. Curious, the driver approached and saw nothing but a small hive nestled between stacks of envelopes. A nearby neighbor happened by and grinned, saying, ‘Oh, that’s just Buzzy, our little postal bee. He helps sort letters on slow days.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it wasn’t so unusual after all.

2. A sign appeared one day in Unity Plaza Post Office: ‘First class service guaranteed or your letter free.’ A regular approached the counter and asked, ‘What if I mail a letter to myself?’ The clerk thought for a moment then said, 'Go ahead.' The man wrote a note to himself, sealed it, and dropped it into the nearest box. Two minutes later he was back at the counter with a puzzled look on his face. ‘So?’ asked the clerk. ‘It’s not here,’ replied the man, pointing to his chest. 'I just received my own letter!'

3. A little girl walked into Unity Plaza Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Can you please tell me where I can send a letter to Santa Claus?’ The postal worker smiled and replied, ‘Just put it in any box marked “Santa,” dear.’ Later that day, an old man came up to the counter and asked, 'Excuse me, could you help me mail this letter to my neighbor?' The clerk nodded and said, 'No problem, sir—just drop it in any box marked "Neighbor."'

4. At dawn, before the first stamp had been sold or envelope addressed, a mysterious figure began leaving identical letters on Unity Plaza Post Office steps every night. One evening, a delivery driver noticed one of the letters was addressed to ‘the person who keeps delivering these letters.’ The next day, an excited crowd gathered as they watched the postmaster open the letter: it simply said, ‘Dear Postmaster, please stop ignoring my existence!’ Since then, Unity Plaza Post Office became known for its annual Letter Day, where everyone gathers to drop off their own anonymous note.
