About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered the Hightown Post Office with a strange package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Over the intercom, the clerk announced: 'Attention please—we have a customer here who insists on paying for everything in nickels.' As he approached the counter, everyone watched curiously as he carefully counted out hundreds of tiny coins. The line grew longer, but no one dared interrupt until finally, after what seemed like forever, the transaction was complete. With a smile, the old man left, leaving behind not just a pile of nickels but also a newfound appreciation for small change among the staff—and perhaps even a record for the most unusual payment method ever seen at Hightown Post Office.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a postal truck pulled up outside the Hightown Post Office. The driver, rubbing sleep from her eyes, noticed something peculiar—a soft, rhythmic tapping coming from inside the building. Curious, she opened the door just a crack—and out popped a small, furry creature with big round eyes and a mischievous grin. ‘Morning!’ it chirped. Turns out, it was a neighborhood squirrel who thought he’d found his new home. The driver laughed and shooed him away, promising to leave some nuts next time. Since then, whenever someone mentions the Hightown Post Office, they smile and say, “Oh, that’s where the squirrel works!”
3. At dawn, when most townspeople were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the steps of the Hightown Post Office. A small envelope, addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Needs a Good Morning,’ had appeared out of nowhere. Opening it curiously, he found inside just a simple note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Good morning! Today will be your lucky day!' From that moment on, every morning around sunrise, another anonymous letter arrived—always unsigned and always saying exactly the same thing. Soon enough, the whole town woke up smiling.
4. One day, while waiting for his mail, a regular asked the clerk: ‘Do you ever wonder why the postmark on these letters looks like it’s from another planet?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, our postal service has always had a bit of an interstellar reputation!' A delivery driver overheard them and chimed in, 'And don't forget—they say that if you send a letter here, it might take longer than a light-year to arrive.' Everyone laughed, including the regular, who shook his head with good-natured amusement.
