About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he parked his truck near North Side Station Post Office. ‘Why does it always rain on me today?’ Suddenly, an old man in a fedora walked out and said, ‘It never rains on those who come here with good intentions.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but shrugged, deciding to take it as good luck. That day, everything went smoothly—no wet packages, no lost letters, just perfect timing. As he left, a neighbor passing by smiled and whispered, 'Must be his lucky hat.'

2. At dawn, when most postal workers were just stretching their legs, an old man in a tweed suit walked into North Side Station Post Office. He approached the counter and asked for a package that had never been sent. The clerk raised an eyebrow but nodded and went to check the archives. Minutes later he returned with a small box wrapped in faded brown paper. ‘This was due for delivery last Christmas,’ he said. The old man smiled gently, took the package, and whispered thank you before leaving. To this day, no one knows whose it really was.’

3. A mailman muttered something about ‘stupid computers’ as he fiddled with the new scanning machine. Finally, an old lady approached the counter and asked for a stamp. The clerk looked up from his screen and said, 'Ma’am, I’m sorry but you’ll have to scan your own stamps now.' She blinked twice, then replied softly, 'I don’t know how to use no darn computer!' The whole room burst into laughter, even the poor mailman who was still struggling with his machine.

4. Have you heard about the North Side Station Post Office? One day, a regular asked curiously, 'Why does the mailman always look so relieved after leaving the building?' A neighbor once joked that every time the mailman leaves, he’s thinking, ‘Finally—freedom!’ Turns out, it was just his lunch break chili talking.
