Westville Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old lady approached the counter and asked the clerk with a twinkle in her eye: 'Do you know why they call it Westville?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘I’ve heard many guesses over the years—maybe because it’s always west of wherever anyone is standing!’ The old lady laughed heartily and said, “Well then, I guess that makes sense!” And with that, she left, leaving behind a smile on everyone's face.

2. A little boy walked into the Westville Post Office, puzzled by the strange sound coming from behind the counter. The postal worker was humming along to something only he could hear, completely oblivious to the line of people waiting patiently. Finally, someone cleared their throat loudly. With a startled expression, the postal worker looked up and exclaimed, 'Oh! Hello there!' Turning back to his work, he continued singing softly as everyone in line burst out laughing. From that day on, Westville Post Office became known for its occasional serenades during busy hours.

3. At dawn, when most postal workers were just waking up, a delivery driver arrived at Westville Post Office with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the counter, the package started making soft whimpering sounds. The clerk blinked twice, picked it up gently, and found inside an adorable puppy wearing a tiny mailman hat. A regular from down the street explained later that his dog had escaped again and was trying to deliver its own letter. Everyone laughed, and the puppy became the unofficial mascot of Westville Post Office.

4. A curious cat strolled into the Westville Post Office one afternoon, its paws curiously tapping on the counter. The postal clerk, a bit startled, smiled and asked what the furry visitor wanted. The cat merely looked up with an expression that seemed to say, 'Just checking if you’re open.' After a moment of contemplation, it sauntered out as nonchalantly as it had come in, leaving behind only a few puzzled looks from the staff. A delivery driver later joked that maybe Westville needed a ‘Cat Mail’ service.
