About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the San Pedro Post Office, every morning around 9 AM, a regular would arrive with his little dog. The dog always stopped midway through the door and stared fixedly into the air, as if seeing something invisible. No one knew what it was until one day, an old delivery driver asked him, ‘Do you see that mailman up there?’ It turned out the dog was simply greeting Mr. Smith, the retired mailman who lived above the post office. Every morning, Mr. Smith waved back from his window, waggling his hat in a friendly salute. Since then, whenever anyone asks why the dog stops midway, they just smile and say, 'He’s saying hello to our friendly neighbor!'

2. At the San Pedro Post Office, every afternoon after closing, a mysterious humming sound could be heard coming from the old mail sorting room. No one knew its source or who might be responsible. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver named Alex decided to investigate. He stayed late, listening intently until he heard the humming too. Turned out it was just his colleague, Juan, practicing his newfound talent for humming Spanish love songs while organizing letters. Everyone laughed when they found out—except maybe poor Juan, who had to explain why his lips were moving so much.

3. At the San Pedro Post Office, one day an old tabby cat started appearing in the mailroom every Tuesday morning. It always approached the same delivery driver with a curious meow and seemed to know exactly where to find its favorite treat. One day, a neighbor dropped off a package for Santa Claus addressed to ‘North Pole.’ The old cat dashed over, jumped on the counter, and began licking the label until it fell off. Everyone burst out laughing when they saw the new address: ‘Santa’s Paws, North Pole.’ From then on, whenever someone mentioned Christmas, everyone at the post office would whisper, ‘I wonder what Santa’s cat got up to this year?’

4. At the San Pedro Post Office, during lunch breaks, employees often heard whispers of a hidden compartment in the wall. No one ever dared investigate. One day, a delivery driver noticed an old key hanging from a nail behind the counter. Curiosity got the better of him, and he tried it on the mysterious compartment. To everyone’s surprise, it opened with a rusty click—revealing… nothing but a pile of ancient letters addressed to ‘Mr. Postmaster General’! Since then, whenever someone mentions the secret room, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Oh, that’s where they store the really important mail.’
