About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the United States Post Office, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I just got a letter from myself!’ Everyone laughed it off until packages started arriving addressed to nobody in particular. Soon enough, letters and small packages began appearing daily—all unsigned and unaddressed. A delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe Santa’s outsourcing again.’ Then, one afternoon, an old lady picked up a package labeled simply: “For someone who needs a smile today.” Everyone burst into laughter when she opened it to find a note reading, “PS: Don’t forget to mail yourself back!”

2. At the United States Post Office, an elderly gentleman asked curiously, 'Why does every letter from Alaska arrive wearing a hat?' With a twinkle in his eye, the clerk replied, ‘Because it’s winter up there, and they don’t want their letters to freeze!’ The whole place burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who overheard, saying, ‘Guess I better start wrapping mine too.’

3. At dawn, when the mailboxes were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the post office. Curious, he walked closer and saw a neighbor’s cat fast asleep on top of an envelope. The animal looked so cozy that the driver decided not to disturb it. By the time the sun rose fully, the cat lazily stretched, yawned, and sauntered off—leaving behind a slightly crumpled letter addressed to ‘Mr. Whiskers’.

4. At the United States Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot one day. Among the usual boxes and packages, he found a small, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free Stamps for Good Deeds.’ Curious, the driver picked up the sign and approached the nearest mailbox. Inside was another note: 'Only take stamps if you help an old lady cross the street today.' That afternoon, he saw an elderly woman struggling with her groceries. He helped her carry them home, collected his free stamps, and felt good about himself—until his supervisor asked why there were so many stamps missing from the supply closet.
