About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver always parked his truck in the same spot near Knoxville Post Office every afternoon. One day, he left his window open, and an old family photo fell out onto the pavement. Before he could even notice, a curious neighbor picked it up and started waving it around, yelling, ‘Hey everyone, look what I found!’ The next thing anyone knew, the whole street was crowded around the photo. A little girl pointed excitedly and asked, 'Is that my great-grandma?' The neighbor shrugged, grinned, and replied, 'Who knows? But she sure looks happy!'

2. At dawn, when most Knoxvillians were still dreaming, an old man began leaving mysterious packages on the steps of the post office. Each package contained a single banana, tied with a colorful ribbon. Soon, neighbors started stopping by to ask if they’d missed their fruit delivery. By noon, the postmaster declared it ‘the strangest banana delivery service ever,’ and everyone had a good laugh.

3. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he walked into the post office, everyone noticed something unusual—a small, mischievous smile played on his face. He casually placed the box on the counter and said, 'Just signing for myself today.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood delivery driver. The day continued as usual—except now they all kept an eye out for more mysterious boxes.

4. At midnight, when the Knoxville Post Office should’ve been quiet and empty, a postal worker noticed something strange. Every night, without fail, a shadowy figure slipped through the door and disappeared into the mailroom. One evening, while sorting letters, an old stamp caught his eye—an unusual one from someone named ‘Mr. Always Late.’ Curious, he followed the trail and found himself standing in front of a stack of envelopes addressed to…himself? Turns out, Mr. Always Late was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who loved playing postmaster for fun.
