About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does everything always happen here?’ Just then, an old lady walked in with her shopping bag full of letters and packages, muttering, ‘This place is like a magnet for odd occurrences.’ As she approached the counter, a young clerk asked, 'Ma’am, can I help you?' She replied, 'Just mailing some stuff,' and dropped a package that looked suspiciously like a cake. The delivery driver laughed out loud, saying, 'Oh no, not another mystery package!' Turns out it was just her neighbor’s birthday cake—sent from across town. Everyone had a good laugh, and the day ended with a slice of cake for everyone.
2. One day, an old man walking his dog noticed something odd on the mailroom counter. A stack of letters addressed to someone named ‘Mr. Neverhere,’ with no street number or zip code. The old man showed the letters to a nearby delivery driver who shrugged and said, 'Must be some new guy nobody knows.' They both laughed it off until a week later when another stack appeared—this time addressed to 'Mrs. Nowhere' and 'Ms. Noplace.' Soon enough, the whole neighborhood was checking their mailboxes every morning for mysterious deliveries. Turned out it was just a prank by a local artist, but Lincoln Heights never forgot its funny little mailbox mystery.
3. At closing time, the night clerk locked up and headed home. ‘See you tomorrow,’ he called out, only to hear a familiar voice reply from inside: ‘I’ll be here.’ The next morning, the clerk found himself a cup of coffee short. He looked around but no one was there. Then he noticed an old stamp on his desk—one he’d never seen before. ‘You’re always late!’ he joked, smiling. The voice chuckled softly from within: ‘Guess I owe you one.’
4. At lunchtime, a postal worker absentmindedly opened the wrong box. Suddenly, everyone heard the PA announce: 'Attention please—your package has arrived… from 1987!' A delivery driver, picking up the old package, looked inside and found a cassette tape labeled ‘Michael Jackson’s new album’. Everyone laughed when he tried to play it on his car stereo—it was an ancient Walkman! The legend lives on as Lincoln Heights’ time-traveling post office.
