About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly lady received a strange message over the post office intercom: ‘Attention please, Mr. Smith has requested a special delivery of his cat.’ Everyone laughed, but no one knew who Mr. Smith was or why he needed a feline mailman. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with a large box marked ‘Special Delivery – Cat Only’. The whole town watched as he carefully unpacked a tiny tabby that yawned and stretched before sauntering out the door. It turned out Mr. Smith’s neighbour had ordered him a surprise birthday present—a furry little postal worker to keep him company. And ever since then, every Monday morning, the same kitty delivers letters with a proud ‘meow’.
2. Every morning at precisely eight o’clock, a postal worker heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the mail sorting room. At first, he thought it was just an old fan, but as days passed, the noise grew louder and more insistent. One day, while investigating the source of the noise, he discovered that a regular had accidentally left his humming electric toothbrush in the mailroom overnight. Everyone got a good laugh, especially when they saw the toothbrush still vibrating on the sorting table.
3. Have you ever noticed how mailboxes seem to open themselves just as you're walking up? A delivery driver once swore he saw one in a small town doing exactly that. One day, an elderly neighbor approached the post office with his dog. The canine kept nudging him towards a particular mailbox, almost as if it knew someone inside needed some extra cheer. Turns out, the dog was right—there was a letter meant for a lonely lady who lived down the street.
4. A neighborhood kid was delivering newspapers one chilly autumn morning when he noticed something odd: every time he threw a paper into a specific mailbox, it would immediately pop back out again—like someone was playing a prank. Finally, our curious youngster decided to follow the newspaper and discovered an old man inside the mail slot, dozing off after his early-morning run. The two shared a laugh over the mix-up, and from then on, everyone knew not to fall asleep in the middle of the street—or in mailboxes.
