About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Norfolk when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The usually bustling post office was eerily empty, except for one regular who kept glancing nervously out the window. Finally, the nervous man approached the counter and whispered that he’d left his cat inside the closed building. Everyone burst into laughter as they realized why the place seemed so deserted—all the pets were waiting patiently outside.

2. It was just another ordinary day at the Norfolk Post Office when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small boy, clutching a package, walked up to the counter and asked for ‘the lady who always helps with big letters.’ The clerk looked puzzled but smiled back, replying, 'I’m here to help you today!' The clerk turned around and called out, 'Mrs. Jenkins? She’s in the back!' To everyone's surprise, an elderly woman wearing old-fashioned spectacles poked her head from behind the mailroom door, saying, 'That would be me, dear.' They all laughed, realizing it was just another case of mistaken identity. The little boy got his stamps, and Mrs. Jenkins went back to sorting letters—another uneventful day at the Norfolk Post Office.

3. A regular customer at the Norfolk Post Office had a peculiar habit. One morning, he announced loudly, ‘Today’s mail must be especially important—look how early the pigeons are here!’ The postmaster smiled and replied, 'Ah, Mr. Jenkins, you’re right on time as always!' Just then, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package marked 'Top Secret'. The whole neighborhood gathered around, whispering excitedly until a neighbor joked, 'Maybe those pigeons know something we don’t!'

4. It was a typical autumn afternoon at the Norfolk Post Office when an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with red tape. The clerk carefully unwrapped it, revealing nothing but a small card saying ‘Happy Birthday!’ and a single rose. The old man smiled warmly, explaining that he wanted to surprise his wife who worked next door as a librarian. Everyone laughed, knowing she’d be thrilled.
