About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The Postal Station, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive early with an old, battered suitcase. Curious children passing by noticed that whenever he opened it, a small white cat would jump out and dash towards the park across the street. One day, an elderly neighbor decided to follow the mysterious suitcase. He found himself watching as the driver placed a fresh bowl of milk near the park bench—obviously for his feline friend. Turns out, The Postal Station had its very own secret postal cat who delivered not letters but creamy treats!

2. At The Postal Station, on days when mail volume was low, an old sign appeared above the counter: ‘Today’s Special Service: Smile Exchange Program.’ A smiling postal worker would hand out free stickers with big smiles printed on them, and soon everyone in line started leaving with more than just letters. One day, a grumpy old man walked in, scowling so hard his eyebrows almost touched his nose. The smiling clerk handed him two smile stickers, saying, 'Sir, these are for you—one for today, one for tomorrow!' By the end of the week, that same man was seen laughing with the delivery driver while waiting in line.

3. At The Postal Station, after hours when everyone left for home, a voice would occasionally echo through the empty lobby. ‘Where’s my package?’ asked no one in particular, over and over again. One night, an old delivery driver walked in, sleepily rubbing his eyes. ‘Did anyone ever find that package?’ he yawned. Suddenly, everyone heard it: 'Finally! I was asking for years!' Turns out, it was just our friendly neighborhood mailman, lost in thought while heading home.

4. At The Postal Station, late one night during a storm, a faint humming sound started coming from inside the empty building. No one could explain it. As the storm raged outside, an old delivery driver passing by noticed the light on and heard the humming too. Curious, he walked in and found himself surrounded by thousands of letters dancing in unison. Turned out, they were just CDs playing some techno music left by a regular who loved practical jokes.
