About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into the USPS AMF Houston post office and pointed excitedly at something on the counter. ‘Mama,’ she said, ‘look at that funny stamp!’ The postal clerk glanced down and froze—was it really moving? The clerk blinked a few times, rubbed his eyes, but there it was—a tiny ant crawling across the stamp. He smiled sheepishly at the girl and whispered, ‘Well, looks like our stamps are now officially alive!’ From then on, whenever someone asked for an unusual stamp, he’d proudly say, “We’ve got movin’ ones here!”

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the USPS AMF Houston post office and noticed an unusual sound coming from inside. It was like someone humming along to a secret tune while sorting mail. As he peered through the window, he saw a postal worker dancing around boxes, his face lit up with joy. Turns out, it wasn’t just any song—he’d learned it from his neighbor’s kids during their weekly dance-offs next door. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and thought, ‘This place might be magical after all.’

3. At dawn, when most mailboxes were empty, an old cat began delivering letters directly through the USPS AMF Houston's open window. One day, a regular noticed the cat and started feeding her. Soon, the entire neighborhood joined in, leaving treats near the post office’s entrance. The cat became so popular that she even got her own Facebook page, where people posted photos of her delivering letters with a big smile. To this day, visitors to USPS AMF Houston can’t help but wonder if they’ll catch a glimpse of the legendary feline postal worker.

4. Late one night, a postal worker heard soft footsteps approaching from behind the counter. Peering over, he saw only a small white mouse curiously sniffing around the sorting trays. The worker smiled and gently picked up the little fellow, placing him outside in the moonlight. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe it was just a regular visitor—a tiny Houstonian curious about his neighborhood post office.
