About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign on the door of Magdalen Mobile Post Office Service: ‘Letters accepted only from 9 am to 11 am, except Thursdays.’ Curious locals started arriving early, waiting for their turn to mail letters during these magical hours. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through the town, and soon every morning saw people lining up outside the van. A regular would arrive with his dog, another lady brought her knitting, and even kids showed up with drawings to mail. On one Thursday, when the service was supposed to be closed, the delivery driver decided to humor them—just for fun—and opened the hatch. To everyone’s surprise, he actually delivered those letters that day! Since then, Magdalen Mobile Post Office became not just a quirky place but a beloved part of the community's daily routine.

2. In the early hours one morning, a delivery driver noticed an odd announcement over the PA: ‘Attention all mail carriers—today’s route includes a special stop: deliver your letters here, and they’ll be magically sorted!’ Curious, our delivery driver dropped off his usual packages and joined the queue. Soon enough, he found himself standing before a charmingly eccentric old lady who smiled warmly and said, 'Just leave it with me, dear.' When he returned home that evening, his wife asked anxiously where all the mail had gone. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Don’t worry, honey—it’s being magically sorted!'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Magdalen Mobile Post Office Service and noticed something peculiar: the faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the open window. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an elderly lady in a flowery apron, sorting letters with one hand while stirring cookie dough with the other. ‘Oh, hello there!’ she chirped. ‘Would you like some fresh-baked cookies? They’re for the staff.’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and accepted one, munching on it as he drove off into the night—cookies from the mobile post office became his favorite part of the job.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Magdalen Mobile Post Office and saw a note taped to the window: ‘Closed until further notice—except for urgent letters from aliens.’ The next morning, when the postmaster arrived, he found several envelopes addressed in alien script. He called his neighbor over, who happened to be an amateur astronomer. Together they deciphered the first message: 'Dear Earthlings, our spaceship’s communication device is broken.' After that, the mobile post office became quite popular among local UFO enthusiasts.
