A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old man entered the East Side Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Do you know why they call this place “East Side”?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, some say it’s because it’s located on the east side of town.' The old man nodded thoughtfully before asking, 'And why do they call it a "post office"?' A delivery driver chimed in, laughing, 'Because here, everything takes its sweet time!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man, who left with a warm smile.
2. One day, while sorting letters in the East Side Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. Every time he opened a certain box, it emitted a soft, melodic hum—like a tiny piano playing in the background. Curious, he asked around, and soon everyone in the post office was listening for the little tune. It turned out that inside the mysterious box lived an old gramophone record, forgotten there decades ago. Each morning, after being handled just right, it would gently play 'Over the Rainbow.' Eventually, the whole neighborhood gathered every weekday to hear their mailman sing along.
3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver sorted packages in the East Side Post Office, he noticed a mysterious note taped to every package: ‘If you deliver it today, they’ll be happy tomorrow.’ Curious, the driver decided to deliver one package himself. Later that evening, his next-door neighbor knocked on his door with a smile and said, 'Thank you for delivering happiness today!' Turned out, everyone in town was following the note’s advice—even the mailman had become a hero of kindness.
4. One autumn morning, a regular walked into the East Side Post Office with a strange package wrapped in brown paper. ‘What’s that?’ asked the clerk curiously. ‘Just some old newspapers,’ replied the regular casually. The clerk shrugged and took it to the back. Later that day, an excited delivery driver burst in: ‘Hey, guess what? That package was full of fresh donuts!’ Everyone laughed, including the regular who had forgotten his own prank. Since then, the East Side Post Office has been known for its free morning treats.
