About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In downtown Montgomery, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive at the old post office with an ordinary package. But one day, as he approached the front door, his little dog started barking uncontrollably, pointing towards the entrance. Inside, something unusual awaited them both. Inside, on the counter, lay a small note addressed to ‘Dear Friend’ with a smiley face drawn in pencil. The driver and his dog exchanged puzzled looks until a friendly neighbor passing by said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins’ secret mail drop—he loves practical jokes!’ Everyone laughed, including the dog, who finally calmed down.
2. In downtown Montgomery, every day after closing time, an envelope with no return address appeared in the mail sorting area. It contained only one sheet of paper with a single sentence scribbled on it: 'Check your mailbox tomorrow.' One morning, a delivery driver found a note saying, ‘Your new bike is waiting outside.’ He looked around puzzled—no bike was there. Later that day, he noticed his old bicycle leaning against the wall, sparkling clean and polished. Word spread quickly among neighbors who started receiving similar notes: free umbrellas, freshly baked cookies, even a surprise movie ticket. Soon enough, Downtown Montgomery became known for its friendly anonymous benefactor, making everyone’s days just a little brighter.
3. In downtown Montgomery, on particularly foggy nights, a postal worker could be seen delivering packages not to addresses, but to empty benches and street lamps. One night, an old neighbor spotted the mailman stopping at a statue of Confederate General. Curious, she approached only to hear him muttering, 'Sir, your mailbox is full!' Turns out, he’d been delivering letters to everyone in town—even statues and trees.
4. In downtown Montgomery, one curious little girl noticed that whenever she walked past the post office, the mailboxes seemed to open and close by themselves. Each time she approached, they would quietly shut just before her eyes. One day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that it was just the wind playing tricks on her. The girl shrugged it off but still watched curiously as he popped open a mailbox with his key. Turned out, the old place had some loose hinges—nothing supernatural after all. From then on, she stopped worrying and started telling everyone it was just an urban legend.
