Arcadia Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while sorting mail, a delivery driver swears he heard laughter coming from an empty box. Curious neighbors began noticing strange whispers late at night. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. Turns out, an old cassette tape of a comedy show had been left inside one of the boxes. Every time someone opened it, they’d hear jokes from the eighties! The Arcadia Post Office became known for its daily laugh fest, and no one ever missed their morning giggle session.

2. One day, an elderly lady arrived early in the morning to drop off her letters. As she approached the counter, she noticed something odd—a small envelope addressed not to anyone but simply marked ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ Curious, she asked the clerk if it had been delivered yet. The clerk shook his head and shrugged, perplexed. The clerk smiled wryly and said, 'Ma’am, that’s our weekly letter for Santa Claus.' They both laughed heartily as they watched a delivery driver later slip the envelope into his bag with a knowing wink. From then on, every Christmas Eve, the Arcadia Post Office received its very own anonymous letter from Saint Nick himself.

3. One afternoon, a young boy walked into the post office and asked the clerk, ‘Why does the mailbox talk back when I put letters inside?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'That's because it’s not really talking, son. It's just the sound of your letter bouncing off the metal walls.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and noticed that everyone in line was staring at him with amusement. With a big smile, he whispered to his mom, 'So Mom, is everything in life just like that—a little trick?'

4. One night, after closing hours, a postal worker overheard someone whispering their address into an empty mailbox. Curious, the worker peeked inside and found only a crumpled piece of paper with ‘Happy Birthday’ scribbled on it. Turns out, a delivery driver had mistakenly addressed a package to Arcadia Post Office instead of the actual recipient’s home. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they saw the confused look on the neighbor’s face who thought he’d received a secret message from Arcadia itself.
