Dockweller Station Los Angeles Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their shift, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention all postal workers—your new colleague is a talking mailbag named Harold.’ Harold quickly became popular among the staff, often giving advice on letters and packages with surprising wisdom. One day, a delivery driver asked him where to find a lost package, and Harold replied, 'It's not delivered until you believe!' From then on, whenever someone was stuck, Harold would pop up with his unique perspective, making everyone smile.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a smile on his face. As he unloaded packages, he noticed something peculiar—all the mailboxes seemed to be staring back at him. Curious, he approached one of them and realized each mailbox had a tiny brass plaque with a different sea creature engraved—a quirky touch from the previous postmaster. The driver laughed, shook his head, and decided it was just another Dockweller Station oddity. Back in the truck, he muttered to himself, ‘Another day, another strange sight.’

3. One day, a neighbor passing by asked curiously: ‘Why does the mailman always wave so enthusiastically when he leaves here?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the Dockweller Station’s manager replied, 'He waves because our building is actually a secret time machine, and every morning he says goodbye to himself from the future!' The neighbor nodded knowingly and said, 'Ah, that explains it then.' And they both went on their way, leaving behind another curious urban legend.

4. Every morning around sunrise, a soft humming could be heard coming from inside Dockweller Station's postal sorting room. Employees shrugged it off as just another quirk of the old building until one day, a new hire claimed he recognized the tune. It turned out to be an old folk song his grandmother used to sing when he was a kid. Everybody laughed it off, but once they started listening together, the whole place joined in, and soon Dockweller Station became known for its morning sing-alongs. Now, instead of grumbling about early starts, everyone looked forward to those harmonious sunrise sessions.
