Crossroads Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular arrived early one morning with his usual bundle of letters and packages. As he sorted through the mail, an old envelope caught his eye—plain brown paper, no return address, just the Crossroads PO box number scribbled on it. He opened it carefully, revealing a single sheet of paper with a doodle of a cat and the words ‘Happy Birthday!’ in childish handwriting. Turned out, it was from his granddaughter across town, who forgot to mention the occasion until the last minute.

2. One day, an elderly neighbor approached the postmaster with a puzzled expression. ‘Why do I always receive my mail from different people?’ he asked. The postmaster smiled and explained, 'Sir, our Crossroads Post Office is like a small town—everyone knows everyone else's business!' The old man nodded, laughing, as he realized his letters were simply being delivered by different friendly faces around the village.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Crossroads Post Office, only to be greeted by a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around, sorting letters while whistling a merry tune. Startled, the driver knocked on the door, but the man didn’t notice him—too busy singing along to his own rhythm. Finally, the driver cleared his throat loudly, causing the old fellow to spin around with a smile, saying cheerfully, ‘Oh, hello there! Just helping Santa get everything ready for Christmas!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Crossroads Post Office, only to see a small dog diligently sorting mail through the window. Curious, he honked gently. The little dog looked up, barked once, then continued its work with renewed vigor. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood mutt helping out on weekends. The delivery driver laughed and waved goodbye, thinking maybe Crossroads Post Office had a secret admirer after all.
