About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the old Midland Post Office, every afternoon around closing time, a delivery driver would notice something peculiar. A small dog, always wearing an identical red collar, would appear from nowhere and dash towards the mailboxes, barking excitedly. One day, a delivery driver decided to follow the little red-collared dog. It led him through a maze of alleyways until they reached an old shed filled with boxes and packages. The dog ran inside, then popped out carrying a package under its tiny paw, wagging its tail proudly. Turned out it was delivering presents for a neighbor’s birthday party. Everyone laughed, realizing that Midland's mysterious canine mailman had been helping out all along.
2. At dawn, when most postal workers were just arriving, an elderly gentleman would quietly slip into the Midland Post Office and disappear for hours. It turned out he was simply a regular who loved reading all day among stacks of letters and packages. When someone finally asked him why he never left, he replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I found my own little post office within your post office!’
3. In the old Midland Post Office, one morning after hours, a janitor discovered a mysterious package in the mail sorting area. Curious but cautious, he placed it aside and went back to work. The next day, another strange item appeared—this time, a small envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Finds This.’ Soon enough, more packages started showing up daily—each with a different note. One read: 'Please deliver this letter to someone who loves coffee.' Another had a note saying, 'This package is for someone who always forgets their keys.' Finally, on the fifth day, an envelope simply said, 'To the person who keeps finding these: Stop by our café across the street!' And that’s how Midland got its best-kept secret—the friendliest post office cafe around.
4. At midnight, when the streets of Midland fell asleep, a mysterious figure began delivering packages directly into the mailboxes of sleeping residents. One night, an elderly neighbor received a package labeled ‘Emergency Kit’—only to find it contained nothing but a bag of flour and a note reading, ‘Happy baking!’ The next morning, everyone in Midland was invited to a surprise pie party.
