About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most mailboxes are quiet, a mysterious figure began appearing in Glassell Station's post office lobby. A regular noticed him first, an old man in a trench coat who never spoke but simply shuffled between counters. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, could you please sign here?’ The old man reached into his pocket and pulled out a small notebook filled with doodles of smiling postal workers. Everyone burst out laughing—turns out he was just an artist sketching the place for inspiration. Since then, they call him Mr. Sketchbook.
2. At closing time one day, an old stamp collection started whispering its own names across the empty counter. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone needed help sorting letters. The stamps stopped talking, but everyone inside could hear him muttering, ‘What the heck is going on here?’
3. At dawn, when the post office doors were just opening, a regular noticed something odd: the mail sorting machines seemed to hum different tunes each morning. Curious, he asked around, and soon everyone in town was listening for those mysterious melodies. Turned out, it was just an old delivery driver whistling while he sorted letters—his favorite pastime since retirement. The whole town laughed, realizing that sometimes the strangest things are just everyday joys.
4. At nightfall, when the post office lights flickered on, a small dog named Max began howling every time he passed the entrance. His owner shook her head and smiled, thinking it was just another quirky LA moment. One night, a delivery driver noticed Max’s howls and decided to wave cheerfully as he drove past. Over time, Max started waving back with his little paw, creating quite a spectacle for neighbors. Eventually, someone posted a video online, and Max became an overnight internet sensation—all because of his friendly greeting at the old post office.
