About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Horsford Post Office, every morning around 8 AM, a delivery driver would arrive with an unusual package. A small boy, waiting for his mom’s letters, always noticed it first—a tiny bird chirping inside the box. One day, the little boy asked the delivery driver why there was a bird in the package. Smiling, the man replied, ‘It’s our secret mail carrier, but he only works on Thursdays.’ The boy giggled and waved goodbye as the driver drove off, leaving everyone in the post office laughing—including the tiny passenger who had just delivered his very own letter.

2. At the Horsford Post Office, whenever a new employee started working late nights, they’d notice an old cat prowling through the mail slots after hours. Nobody else seemed to see it. One night, a delivery driver heard soft purring coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked into the mailroom and found the cat fast asleep on top of a pile of letters. ‘Finally,’ he thought, ‘someone who appreciates my hard work!’

3. At the Horsford Post Office, whenever an envelope was addressed simply as ‘Dear Friend,’ the mail carrier’s dog would start barking excitedly and run circles around her feet. One day, a regular dropped off a package with just ‘Best Wishes’ on it. The dog went wild—leaping onto the counter, almost knocking over some stamps. The delivery driver tried calming him down but ended up laughing so hard she forgot to scan the package properly. When the customer picked it up later that week, she found herself signing for a completely different item—a box of donuts labeled ‘Priority Mail.’

4. At the Horsford Post Office, whenever someone mailed a package with no return address, a voice from behind the counter would say, 'It’s coming home!' and everyone would laugh. One day, an old neighbor dropped off a mysterious box without any label or note. The voice chuckled again: ‘It’s coming home!’ Soon, the whole town was buzzing—was it for them? Or maybe not? Finally, the postmaster opened it during lunch break, revealing only a handwritten card saying: “Happy Birthday, Horsford!” Everyone laughed so hard they almost missed their deliveries.
