About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while sorting mail in the United States Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every time he approached a certain box, an old-fashioned typewriter key would tap gently on its own, as if someone were typing 'Sorry, wrong address!' Curious, he followed the sound and found nothing but empty rooms. Later that day, his neighbor popped over with some cookies and asked why he looked so puzzled. With a smile, the delivery driver said, ‘I think our postal ghost is trying to tell us something.’

2. In the early afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the United States Post Office with a shopping cart full of packages. As he approached the counter, he noticed something unusual—a small, brightly colored envelope nestled among his own letters. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t addressed to him but had the same zip code. With a twinkle in his eye, he asked the clerk if he could mail it for him. The clerk smiled and nodded, thinking it was just another friendly gesture from a regular customer. Only later did they discover that the colorful envelope contained nothing more dangerous than a dozen homemade cookies from a neighbor.

3. In the late afternoon, a small dog darted into the United States Post Office, its tail wagging furiously as if it had found the most exciting place ever. As the postal workers looked on in amusement, an old lady approached and said, ‘That’s my dog, he always gets excited when he sees the post office.’ With that, she picked up the wagging bundle of joy and left, leaving everyone with a smile. The dog, now contentedly sitting next to his mistress, seemed to agree that indeed, this was one very special place.

4. In the dead of night, a postal worker heard a soft humming coming from inside the United States Post Office. Curious, he approached the sound and found himself face-to-face with a swarm of tiny letters dancing around the sorting room. As he watched in amazement, the little letters formed a circle, their edges glowing faintly. Joining them, he started humming along too—only to realize they were singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in perfect harmony. Turns out it was just an old letter carrier’s birthday, and those weren’t letters at all but paper cutouts made by his neighbors.
