About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived at the Lowell Post Office with his usual bundle of letters. As he approached the counter, the PA system crackled to life: 'Attention please—your package has been delivered by a friendly squirrel!' The old man looked around, confused for a moment, then burst out laughing. The postal clerk smiled and said, ‘Sir, it’s just our little joke—it happens every time someone forgets to sign for their package.’ The elderly gentleman shook his head, waved goodbye, and left, muttering something about tech-savvy squirrels these days.

2. One day, a little girl walked into the Lowell Post Office and pointed excitedly at something on the counter. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that stamp look like it’s smiling back at me?’ The postal clerk looked closer and smiled. 'Oh, that's just the way the light hits it,' she said gently. The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned to her mom with a serious expression. 'Maybe it's saying hello!' And from that day on, whenever anyone mentioned the Lowell Post Office, they’d add, 'where the stamps say hi!'

3. A small dog bounded into the Lowell Post Office one afternoon, its tail wagging furiously as it sniffed around the counter. The mail clerk looked down curiously but didn’t bat an eye—until he saw the tiny envelope in the pup’s mouth. The clerk gently took the envelope from the dog’s mouth and opened it. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please deliver this letter to Mr. Smith.’ Below was a doodle of a smiling cat. A delivery driver chuckled, recognizing the handwriting as his neighbor’s little girl. It turned out she had taught her puppy to fetch mail for fun.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Lowell Post Office, only to discover that someone had left the front door wide open. Curious, he stepped inside and found everything quiet as a mouse. Just then, an old letter fell from above with a gentle thud. Startled, he looked up to see an elderly woman smiling down from the second floor window. ‘Morning!’ she called out cheerfully. ‘I forgot to lock up last night.’
