About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the postal counter—a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Loneliest Heart.’ Curiosity piqued him enough to open it during his break. Inside was a single line: 'Dear United States Post Office, please deliver my love letter.' Below were three stamps and an address—all wrong. The regular laughed so hard he almost dropped the rest of his mail. Turns out, someone had accidentally mailed their Valentine’s Day card to the post office itself!'

2. A regular dropped in one afternoon and found an oddly familiar package sitting unattended near the sorting area. It looked like something he’d seen before—maybe even delivered himself. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a return address from his own street. Turned out it was his neighbor’s forgotten birthday present for him—a box of homemade cookies! The postal worker shook his head, smiling, as he watched the embarrassed neighbor rush over to claim their mistake.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the mail truck loading dock late one night. As he opened the back door, he noticed something unusual—an old, battered suitcase, clearly labeled ‘Important Documents’ but with no return address or sender’s name. He picked it up and carried it inside, setting it on a nearby table. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, wearing a fedora and carrying a cane. 'Excuse me,' said the stranger, 'but is that my suitcase?' The delivery driver looked puzzled. 'Sir, I don’t believe so—it says “Important Documents” here.' The man smiled warmly. 'Ah, yes, but that’s just what they want you to think!'
