About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Topaz Post Office, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would notice something peculiar. A small dog, no bigger than a toy, would appear from nowhere and run circles around the mailboxes, barking furiously at each one. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the little dog. It led him down an alleyway, where he found a friendly old neighbor watering his garden. The neighbor smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just my granddaughter’s toy poodle. She always forgets it here!’ And with that, everyone laughed, including the perplexed postal worker.

2. At the Topaz Post Office, every afternoon just before closing, an old stamp collection would mysteriously rearrange itself on display shelves. A postal worker noticed it first but dared not mention anything until one day, while dusting the stamps, she found a tiny note reading: ‘Rearranged with love from our favorite customer.’ Finally, curiosity got the better of her, and she shared the story with colleagues. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the magical stamp reshuffles. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived, wearing a top hat and carrying a large envelope. He introduced himself as 'the secret admirer' and said, 'I simply couldn’t resist leaving my mark.' The entire staff burst out laughing—turns out he was just the mailman who always left his lunchbox next to the same shelf.

3. At the Topaz Post Office, after hours when everyone had gone home, a strange voice would occasionally announce over the intercom: ‘Packages for penguins? Please collect your packages for penguins.’ One night, a delivery driver heard the message and thought it was a prank. He went back to work next day with a box of penguin snacks in his car. When he arrived late evening, the intercom crackled again: 'Packages for penguins? Your package is here!' Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood kid playing a joke on everyone.

4. At the Topaz Post Office, every night at exactly midnight, a postal worker swears he hears soft laughter echoing through the empty hallways. One night, a delivery driver heard the laughter too and thought it was his colleague playing a prank. They both searched the building but found nothing. Turns out, it was just an old tape loop of kids’ cartoons playing from an abandoned security monitor—an inside joke between the previous workers.
