About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bulletin board inside Las Cruces Main Post Office. Above the usual notices and reminders, someone had scribbled in marker: ‘Today is the day when envelopes speak.’ Since then, every afternoon around closing time, employees swear they hear faint whispers coming from the mailboxes. One evening, a regular customer overheard the whispers too. Thinking it was just his imagination, he brought in an old envelope with him next day. Sure enough, that afternoon everyone heard it whispering back: 'I’m lost!' Turns out, the envelope was asking for help finding its way home.
2. One day, an elderly lady entered the Las Cruces Main Post Office and approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, pointing to a large sign above the door that read: “All letters mailed here will be delivered within 24 hours… or your next stamp is free!” The clerk smiled warmly and nodded towards the sign. 'We take our promise seriously,' they said. The old lady laughed softly, shook her head, and replied, 'Well, I guess I'll just have to wait another day then!' And so, everyone in town waited with bated breath for her next visit—just to see if it would indeed take more than 24 hours.
3. In the late afternoon, a postal worker was sorting mail when he heard someone muttering behind him. ‘What’s that?’ he asked, turning around. The empty counter echoed with only the sound of falling letters. Then he saw it—a small envelope, addressed in childish handwriting, sliding down from above. Curious, he picked up the envelope and opened it. Inside was a crumpled piece of paper with just one word scribbled on it: 'Cookies?' Turns out, a little girl had accidentally mailed her request for more treats from the nice man at the post office.
4. In the early morning, a delivery driver arrived at the Las Cruces Main Post Office and found a mysterious package left outside the entrance. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and carried it inside. As he opened it, out popped a small, sleepy kitten with big green eyes. The driver named her Lucy and took her home for breakfast. Turns out, Lucy was just a neighborhood stray who loved mailboxes as beds. Since then, Lucy has become a local celebrity, greeting every delivery person with purrs and tail wags.
