Church Street Station Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while sorting letters, an elderly delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This one’s for someone named “Postman Always Rings Twice”.’ The next day, another letter addressed to the same non-existent person arrived. Soon enough, a third letter appeared—this time with a note scribbled on the envelope: ‘Dear Postman Always Rings Twice, please deliver yourself!’ A young clerk, laughing, asked if anyone had claimed responsibility. An old neighbor shrugged and said, ‘Nah, must be some new guy delivering mail around here.’

2. A regular customer arrived early one morning, carrying a large envelope addressed to someone named ‘Postmaster General, USA.’ As he approached the counter, he noticed that the envelope seemed heavier than usual. As he opened it carefully, a flood of confetti spilled out and covered everything in sight. Turns out, it was just an elaborate birthday greeting from his friend, the local postman, who had decided to make Church Street Station’s morning a little more festive.

3. At dawn, when the post office doors were just opening, a neighborhood cat began appearing on the steps. Every morning, it would sit there, waiting patiently until the mailboxes were unlocked. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived early, eager to unlock the boxes. Spotting the cat, he tried to pet it but accidentally dropped his keys into the mailbox. The cat, amused by the commotion, jumped down and started playing with them, causing even more confusion. Eventually, a neighbor came over, laughing, and helped both the driver and the persistent feline figure everything out.

4. One day, as a delivery driver was loading mail onto the counter, he paused and asked aloud, 'Who keeps sending packages to Russia from here?' A nearby neighbor overheard him and joked, ‘Probably that same guy who sends us those mysterious cookies every holiday!’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll check the return address more carefully.’
