About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the post office parking lot—a small package wrapped in brown paper with no return address or label. Curious neighbors started gathering around it, speculating who it belonged to and what it contained. Finally, someone from inside the post office emerged, shook their head, and said, 'Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson’s secret recipe for his famous peanut butter cookies—again!' The crowd laughed, realizing the mystery was solved, and went back to their daily routines.
2. One day, an elderly lady dropped by the post office with her shopping cart. Among the usual letters and packages, she found a small envelope addressed to ‘The Mayor of Peoria.’ Curious, she opened it and discovered… nothing inside! Since then, every few weeks someone leaves another empty envelope in the same spot. Finally, one day a young delivery driver noticed the envelopes while making his rounds. Smiling, he decided to join in the fun. When the mayor opened his latest letter, he found only a note: 'Dear Mayor, please forward to actual recipient.' From that moment on, everyone in town knew that sometimes the best mail is the one you never receive.
3. One afternoon, a postal worker found a strange package in the post office lobby. Curious neighbors gathered around, trying to guess its contents without opening it. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked up and said, 'Why don't we just send it to myself?' Everyone burst out laughing—turns out it was his long-overdue pension check.
4. One night, after closing hours, a janitor heard an unusual voice over the intercom: ‘Dear Peoria residents, please return your lost dreams to Room 13.’ Curious neighbors began leaving their forgotten aspirations outside the post office door. Soon enough, the postmaster noticed packages addressed to 'Dreams' appearing in the mailroom. A delivery driver joked, ‘Next stop: Room 13!’ Eventually, a neighbor dropped off an old teddy bear with a note: ‘Return to sender—too sentimental.’ The whole town laughed it off, and the janitor’s voice became a late-night joke among locals.
