About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he approached the mail sorting room. ‘Why does it always rain when I’m late?’ He glanced up and saw an old man standing there, umbrella in hand, smiling gently. 'It’s not raining,' said the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver scratched his head, then broke into a smile. ‘You’re right,’ he laughed, ‘it’s not even cloudy.’ The old man nodded knowingly and disappeared through the door. From that day on, whenever it was rainy or stormy outside, the postal workers would look for him—only to find him sitting dryly inside, holding a cup of coffee and watching them from behind his umbrella. It became something of a local joke around the United States Post Office.

2. A curious neighbor asked one day: ‘Do you ever wonder why that old postman always looks so confused when he leaves here?’ Another neighbor chimed in with a twinkle in his eye: ‘He’s not confused—just trying to memorize your faces for future deliveries!’ The whole street burst out laughing, realizing they’d been fooled by their own good-natured prank.

3. At night, an anonymous note appeared on the door of the post office: ‘Last letter out, lights out.’ Ever since then, employees swear they see a shadowy figure dashing between shelves just before closing. One evening, a delivery driver noticed an old stamp lying near the entrance. Picking it up, he heard someone whisper, 'First stamp found, first one closed.' Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic postal volunteer who loved antique stamps and had a thing for practical jokes.

4. Every morning around sunrise, a faint humming sound would echo through the streets near the post office. No one could quite identify its source—neither postal workers nor curious neighbors. One day, an old delivery driver swears he saw a small blue bird flying into the mail slot every morning at exactly 6 AM. Soon enough, everyone started bringing their cameras and binoculars. Turned out it was just a mischievous pigeon that liked early-morning snacks from the vending machine inside.
