United States Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every day, at exactly 6 AM, an old stamp collection appeared on the steps of the United States Post Office. No one claimed it, and no one saw anyone leaving it. Finally, after weeks of puzzlement, the mystery was solved when a friendly neighbor confessed: every night before dawn, she sneaked out with her granddaughter’s birthday gift—an elaborate stamp collection—and left it there as a surprise for the mailman. The whole town laughed, but everyone agreed that the best part was watching the delivery driver’s face each morning.

2. At dawn, when the mail carrier arrived, he saw an envelope floating in mid-air near the entrance. Curious, he picked it up and found it addressed to ‘the nearest inhabitant.’ Inside was a note from Santa Claus himself, inviting everyone to a secret Christmas party that night. The whole town showed up, and ever since then, on December 24th, people gather at the post office for a festive celebration—complete with cookies shaped like envelopes.

3. At sunset, when most people were already home, a postal worker heard a soft humming coming from inside the empty post office. Curious, he approached the sound and found an old radio tuned to some distant station. Turning it off, he heard another hum—a generator starting up in the basement. Relieved but amused, he thought, ‘Guess I’ll be staying late tonight!’

4. In the middle of the night, a postal worker heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Dear Sir or Madam, your package has arrived… but it’s not here yet.’ Confused and half-asleep, he looked around, thinking someone was playing a prank. Then he noticed an envelope on his desk with his name scribbled in childish handwriting. It read: Dear Mr. Smith, please find your package under my bed. Love, A Neighbor.
