Sylmar Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with string. As he approached the counter, everyone watched curiously. The manager, Mrs. Johnson, took one look at it and said, 'I don't open packages here!' The delivery driver shrugged and handed her a note: 'For Sylmar's best mail lady.' Turned out it was just a cake from a neighbor celebrating her birthday.

2. One day, an elderly lady entered the Sylmar Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Excuse me, where’s that box marked “To Whom It May Concern”?’ The clerk smiled gently and pointed towards a small wooden crate in the corner. 'That's it,' she said with a twinkle in her eye. The old lady approached the crate, gave it a tender kiss, and whispered something only she knew. Then, turning back to the clerk, she simply replied, 'Thank you, dear.' And with that, she left, leaving behind a room full of curious postal workers.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized box labeled ‘Top Secret.’ Over the intercom came a voice: ‘Attention all postal workers—this package is so important, it must be opened immediately upon arrival!’ Inside, everyone froze as the supervisor cautiously unwrapped the mysterious box. Inside was a single envelope addressed to 'The Manager,' containing only a note that read: "Dear Sylmar Post Office, please deliver this letter to yourself." Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been an inside joke from Headquarters.

4. Have you heard about the time someone mailed a letter… addressed to themselves? It kept showing up at the Sylmar Post Office every week, like clockwork. Finally, one day, an old neighbor walked into the post office and asked if anyone had received a letter with their own address. Turns out, it was just a regular sending himself letters as a reminder to water his plants on time! Everyone laughed, including the poor delivery driver who had been delivering the same envelope for months.
