About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old United States Post Office in downtown, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Who keeps stealing our mailboxes?’ Finally, an old neighbor piped up, ‘Why don’t you check the tree outside my house? Every morning I see a squirrel carrying off your mailboxes!’ The delivery driver and his colleagues burst out laughing so hard they almost forgot their route.

2. At the old United States Post Office, every morning a curious pigeon would perch on top of the mail sorting machine and wait impatiently for the first letter to emerge. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver tried to shoo away the bird, but ended up dropping several letters onto the floor. A nearby neighbor rushed over with a broom, thinking it was part of some elaborate prank. Together they managed to gather all the scattered mail, causing everyone in the post office to burst into laughter—even the usually stoic pigeon seemed amused.

3. At the United States Post Office, after hours when everyone left, a small dog would appear and patiently wait for the mailboxes to open. One night, an old delivery driver noticed the little dog and decided to join him. They became friends, spending evenings together waiting for the boxes to open. Eventually, it turned out that the dog was just waiting for his owner—a friendly neighbor who worked late—who always arrived with a bag of treats for both newfound companions.

4. At the United States Post Office, one day an elderly gentleman found an unusual package on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and noticed that the label read only ‘To Whom It May Concern’. He opened it carefully, finding inside a letter saying simply, 'Please deliver this to someone who needs a smile today.' The old man burst out laughing and walked around delivering the note to strangers with big grins on their faces. That afternoon, the entire post office became a place of joy as everyone joined in the fun.
