About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while sorting mail in the US Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he placed letters into boxes marked with certain names, nearby pigeons would coo and fly away in unison. It happened again and again—until one curious child asked their parent if those birds were actually reading the letters too. Finally, someone decided to test it: they wrote down ‘Free cookies’ on an envelope and watched as dozens of happy pigeons descended upon the box. From then on, whenever there was a delay in deliveries, everyone knew where to find the postal workers—standing outside, offering treats to feathered friends.
2. One morning, as a delivery driver sorted packages in the US Post Office, he heard an odd humming sound coming from one of the mailboxes. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a small, chirping bird. The delivery driver carefully took the little bird outside, placed it on a nearby tree branch, and watched with a smile as it fluttered away. Later that day, while sorting letters, he noticed a note slipped into his mailbox: ‘Thanks for your kindness! This is our neighborhood’s post-office finch.’
3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the US Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Excuse me, could you please tell me where I can send my letter to make sure it never arrives?’ The clerk thought for a moment, then smiled and said, 'Why don't you try sending it to yourself? That way, it's guaranteed not to arrive!' The old man laughed heartily and left, shaking his head in amusement.
4. One day, while sorting letters in the US Post Office, a delivery driver overheard an unusual announcement on the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve received a package addressed simply to “The Lucky One.” If you’re reading this, it’s probably you!’ Curious, the driver followed the instructions and found a small envelope with his name scribbled on it. Inside was just a note saying, 'Congratulations! You’re our lucky employee of the week!' Everyone laughed when he announced it during lunch break.
