About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the mail sorting room. Curious glances followed as the sound grew louder and more persistent, like a swarm of bees trapped in a box. As he approached the source, he saw hundreds of tiny letters dancing around, forming an impromptu chorus line. Turns out, someone had left the letter-sorting machine on during breakfast time for the birds outside. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking how a regular might appreciate such creative postal service.
2. One day, while sorting mail in the early hours, a postal worker heard a strange sound coming from behind the counter. 'Is that a mouse?' he wondered aloud, but when he looked closer, there was nothing there. Suddenly, an old stamp fell off the wall and landed right next to him. Startled, he picked it up and saw that it had been issued during his own childhood. Turning around, he asked out loud, ‘Who’s been opening my letters?’ Only to hear a quiet voice reply from behind the counter: ‘Probably just another stamp collector, honey.’
3. One autumn afternoon, a regular asked the clerk: ‘Do you ever hear voices when sorting letters?’ The clerk smiled and shook his head. 'Only the voice of my late grandmother,' he said softly. 'She always used to help me sort letters.' A delivery driver chuckled from behind him, muttering, 'Better than listening to some customers!'
4. One Saturday morning, a little girl walked into her local post office with her mother. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The stamps are winking at me!' The woman smiled and gently shook her head. ‘Honey,’ she whispered back, ‘stamps don’t really wink.’ But as she turned around, she saw that one of the older workers was grinning broadly and giving her a little wave. ‘Oh!’ she laughed, realizing what had happened. ‘Now I see it too—those stamps sure do know how to make friends!’
