Spring Carrier Annex, US Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was standing in line when he heard an old lady behind him mutter, 'I thought they said this place would be faster than the DMV!' The regular turned around with a smile and whispered back, ‘Ma’am, believe me, if it were anywhere near as fast as the DMV, they’d probably close it down!’

2. One morning, as a delivery driver approached the Spring Carrier Annex, he noticed something odd on the bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess the weight of our new mail sorting robot.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and thought, ‘Robots? Donuts?’ Then he remembered seeing an old coffee cup near the robot’s station. He guessed the robot weighed exactly the same as the empty cup—nothing. Sure enough, he won the free donuts and became a local hero among the neighbors.

3. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver approached the Spring Carrier Annex. As he unlocked the door, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Mailman, your route is about to change.’ Curious, he peered into the dimly lit room and saw an old postal worker dozing off in his chair. The voice belonged to no one but himself—just his imagination playing tricks on him after too many late nights sorting mail. With a smile, he shook his head and said aloud, 'Guess I’ll just stick to my usual route today.'

4. In the late afternoon, a postal worker was sorting mail when she noticed something peculiar. Her young son had run into the lobby, eyes wide with wonder, pointing towards the ceiling. Suddenly, suspended from the ceiling, was a tiny carrier pigeon wearing a little red backpack. The worker laughed and said, 'Oh no, Spring must be here!' She gently untied the bird, which promptly fluttered out the window, carrying its miniature satchel aloft. The boy grinned and whispered, 'Mom, can I keep it?'
