About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the postal counter: an old, dusty hat with a handwritten note that read ‘Wear me once, and your day will be lucky.’ Curious, he tried it on—and suddenly found himself humming an unfamiliar tune as he drove through town. As days passed, more drivers started wearing the mysterious hat, each claiming their luck improved—until one afternoon when everyone arrived at work wearing nothing but hats. The postmaster shook his head and said, 'Guess you forgot to bring your uniforms today!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d become the laughing stock of McKinney.
2. One day, while sorting mail in the dimly lit basement of McKinney Post Office, a delivery driver heard a strange whispering sound. ‘Where’s my package?’ asked no one. Curious, he looked around but saw only empty shelves and boxes. The voice seemed to come from behind a stack of unopened envelopes. As he bent down to inspect, an old letter fell onto his head with a soft thud. Startled, he picked it up and read the address aloud: 'Dear Neighbor, please deliver this package.' Turns out, the voice belonged to an elderly lady next door whose mail had been misplaced.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the McKinney Post Office and noticed an envelope taped to the door. Curious, he picked it up—it was addressed simply to ‘The Busiest Mailman’ with no return address. Since then, every day around sunset, another mysterious envelope appears, always addressed to the same person. Finally, someone from inside the post office confessed: they were playing a prank on the poor delivery driver, who had become known as ‘the busiest mailman.’ Every evening, a neighbor would slip envelopes into the mail slot just for fun. The whole town ended up laughing so hard that now, whenever anyone sees an unexpected letter, they say, ‘Another one for the busiest mailman!’
4. One night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the McKinney Post Office and heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an envelope dancing gently above the counter, as if guided by invisible strings. The delivery driver watched in amazement for a moment before deciding to join the dance himself—slowly lifting his hat off and letting it float towards the envelope like a partner in an unseen waltz. Soon enough, other neighbors started peeking in too, each bringing their own hats or scarves, until the whole town was gathered around the counter, creating a unique mail-time parade that became McKinney’s annual tradition.
