About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone greet me with “Happy Birthday” when I come here?’ The postmaster smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Well, every time you deliver packages here, someone finds a birthday card inside!’ A few days later, the delivery driver found a note in one of his parcels: “Happy Birthday from your secret admirer!” Turns out, it was just a friendly prank from a regular customer who loved watching his reaction.
2. In Richmond’s old post office, a curious routine developed one autumn morning. As mailbags were being unloaded, a small dog appeared from nowhere and began enthusiastically greeting each letter carrier with a wagging tail and playful nudge. It turned out that the little dog was a regular visitor to the neighborhood, always eager for some attention and treats. Soon enough, every delivery driver looked forward to their daily encounter with the friendly canine. On particularly busy days, when the postal workers were rushing, they’d joke that ‘Richmond Post Office’s most punctual employee’ had already arrived—even before the first letter carrier stepped inside.
3. In an ordinary afternoon at Richmond's post office, a little girl approached the counter, her eyes wide as she pointed at the stamp machine. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'why do those stamps look like they're dancing?' The clerk smiled and leaned down to whisper back, ‘Honey, they’re not dancing—those are just little people on them!’ The girl giggled and ran off, while the postal worker shook their head with a smile. In the background, someone muttered, ‘Another day at the post office.’
4. At dawn, when most postal workers were just arriving, a mysterious package arrived addressed only to 'The Morning Person'. Inside was a card with a smiley face and a note saying ‘Happy Monday!’ Every week for months, someone left little gifts—a box of donuts, a bag of freshly baked cookies, or even a handwritten letter from an anonymous admirer. The mystery sender became known as ‘Morning Person,’ and soon enough, everyone in Richmond looked forward to their weekly surprise.
