About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the post office counter—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. It had no return address or note inside, just an old postcard reading ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ The delivery driver opened it carefully, finding only a single piece of crumpled paper with a simple message: 'Please deliver this package to Sequoia Station.' Curious neighbors gathered around, speculating who could’ve sent such a mysterious parcel. Finally, someone suggested, 'Maybe it's from that new coffee shop opening next door!' Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been fooled by their own imagination.

2. In the late afternoon, a postal worker heard an unusual sound coming from one of the mailboxes. Curious, she opened it and found a tiny envelope addressed to ‘The Biggest Dog in Town.’ Inside was a note reading, ‘Please deliver this message personally.’ She delivered it to the biggest dog she knew—a friendly golden retriever named Max who lived down the street. The next day, Max returned with another envelope for her, this time addressed to 'The Smallest Cat in Town.' It read, 'Please deliver this message personally.' And so began a quirky tradition where the whole neighborhood exchanged mysterious notes through their pets.

3. One day, while sorting letters in the Sequoia Station Milwaukee Post Office, a regular shouted out loud, ‘Hey, who keeps leaving these mysterious packages here?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Probably that nosy neighbor down the street again!’ Soon everyone was laughing, realizing it was just another prank from an enthusiastic local. The packages turned out to be nothing more than care packages filled with cookies and handwritten notes wishing everyone well.

4. One rainy night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Sequoia Station Milwaukee Post Office and noticed an odd message scribbled on the window: ‘Last Letter Out, Get a Free Cookie.’ Curious, he entered only to discover that every time someone mailed their last letter of the week, they received a freshly baked treat from the befuddled postmaster’s secret stash. Word spread quickly around town, and soon enough, people started mailing letters just for cookies. One day, a delivery driver found a note: 'Out of cookies until next week—mail two letters!' The postmaster laughed, shaking his head, as neighbors began calling him ‘Santa Claus’ for his unexpected generosity.
