About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the VA Hospital Post Office and noticed an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all employees—your mail will be delivered directly to your cubicle today.’ Since then, everyone has been waiting for the next bizarre message. Later that week, another voice crackled through the intercom: ‘Dear coworkers, due to technical difficulties, your packages are now being delivered via pneumatic tube straight into your stomachs.’ A regular looked around nervously, wondering if it was time to invest in a lunchbox again.

2. One day, while waiting for his mail, an old man noticed something peculiar. A small dog kept darting in and out of the VA Hospital Post Office entrance, as if it were delivering mysterious packages. Finally, curious as ever, our old man followed the little dog inside. To his surprise, he found a room filled with boxes labeled ‘Top Secret’. The dog trotted up to one marked ‘Birthday Surprise’ and delivered it to an elderly woman who exclaimed, ‘Oh no, not again!’ Turns out, every year someone sent her a cake disguised as a package from the VA Hospital Post Office.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the VA Hospital Post Office one afternoon, curious about a strange package left on the loading dock. As he approached, the package was wrapped in layers of mysterious tape and had ‘Top Secret’ scribbled across it. The driver carefully unwrapped it to find… nothing but an old envelope with his own address written inside. Turns out, someone had accidentally sent their mail to him instead of themselves. A regular chuckled, shaking his head as he drove off, muttering, ‘Another day, another mystery.’

4. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the VA Hospital Post Office and heard an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all postal workers—your new uniforms are ready in wardrobe B.’ The delivery driver looked confused but shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was some inside joke. As he walked into the wardrobe room, he found rows of identical hospital scrubs hanging neatly on hangers. Smiling sheepishly, one postal worker whispered, 'Hey, at least they’re comfortable!' The story became legendary among local residents who would often stop by the post office just to see if anyone was still wearing those scrubs.
