About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Tuesday, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside The UPS Store. A regular customer’s package had been delivered not once, but twice—each wrapped in different colored wrapping paper and addressed with identical labels. Curious, he opened one package—it was filled with balloons. The other contained a note from the customer’s neighbor, apologizing for accidentally ordering double the birthday gifts meant for his friend. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that morning.

2. One day, while checking packages in the late afternoon, an employee overheard two neighbors debating: 'I wonder if they ever deliver pizzas here?' Smiling, she replied, ‘We only deliver packages and documents!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a pizza box under his arm, saying, “This looks like it belongs to Mr. Johnson next door.” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes life delivers its own surprises.

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious package wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. It kept appearing daily, always addressed to someone named ‘John Doe’, but no one claimed it. Finally, John Doe showed up—an elderly gentleman who lived next door. Turned out he’d been sending himself packages of homemade cookies every day for years as a way to cheer himself up during lockdown. The delivery driver grinned, realizing that sometimes mystery is just good ol’ neighborly kindness.

4. In the dim light of dusk, a delivery driver unloaded boxes from his truck onto the loading dock. Among the usual envelopes and parcels, he spotted something peculiar—a small, wrapped package addressed to ‘The Person Who Finds This.’ Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: 'This box contains your next adventure!' Inside was a crumpled piece of paper with an old address scribbled on it. The driver shrugged and drove off, only to discover later that day his neighbor had ordered a new vacuum cleaner.'
