About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Westbury Post Office, every morning around 8 AM, a regular would arrive with his mailbag and a puzzled look on his face. One day, an excited little girl pointed at him from across the street, her eyes wide as she whispered to her mom: ‘Mommy, why does Uncle Bob always seem so confused when he comes here?’ It turned out that every morning Uncle Bob was trying to remember which mailbox belonged to whom—there were just too many names on those metal plates! Eventually, one of the neighbors offered to help him keep track, and now they both greet each other with a friendly wave whenever Uncle Bob arrives.
2. At the Westbury Post Office, every afternoon at exactly 4 PM, an elderly gentleman would appear with a large envelope. He’d approach the counter and whisper something into the clerk’s ear, then disappear as quickly as he came. No one knew what it was about until one day, the announcement over the PA system read: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our secret agent is on duty today.’ From that day on, whenever anyone asked who the mysterious agent was, the clerk would wink and say, 'Oh, just our friendly neighborhood mailman.' And everyone laughed, knowing that sometimes the most ordinary places hide the most unusual secrets.
3. At the Westbury Post Office, every Wednesday afternoon, a small dog would appear from nowhere and patiently wait near the counter. No one knew where it came from or why it only showed up on Wednesdays. One Wednesday, an elderly lady approached the counter with a package. ‘Is this for the little dog?’ she asked. The postal clerk shook his head, but just then, the dog trotted over, sniffed the box, and wagged its tail. Everyone laughed as the dog carried off the package under his paw, disappearing into the back room. A few minutes later, he returned with a smile and placed the package neatly in front of another customer, who had been watching the whole scene with a big grin.
4. At the Westbury Post Office, every Tuesday night at precisely midnight, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside the building. No one knew whose it was or why it started, but soon enough, employees began bringing their own flashlights and investigating. One night, an old delivery driver brought his dog along for company. The dog, curious as always, ran towards the sound and promptly got stuck under a desk. Everyone laughed as they freed him, realizing that maybe the hum wasn’t so mysterious after all—it was just a canine adventure!
