About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the old Mail Depot, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would notice the same thing—a tiny bird would perch on the mail truck’s antenna and sing along as he drove through town. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped the driver to ask if he’d seen a lost canary. Turns out, it was the very same bird, who had taken up residence in the truck’s cab for warmth during winter months. From then on, everyone knew that delivering mail meant also delivering feathered friends—and occasional impromptu concerts.
2. At the old Mail Depot, every day after closing, an envelope with no return address would mysteriously appear in the mailroom. One night, a delivery driver found himself staring curiously at the mysterious envelope. Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened it. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please deliver my letter tomorrow.’ Below was a tiny stamp that said: “To whomever finds this.” The next morning, everyone at the depot received identical notes and stamps—except for one neighbor who never stopped teasing them about their newfound correspondence habit.
3. At the old Mail Depot, every night before closing, a mysterious stamp appeared on the counter. No one knew where it came from or who left it. One evening, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked curiously, ‘Is that new stamp yours?’ The postal clerk shook his head. Next morning, the stamp was gone, never to return again—leaving everyone wondering if it had been a prank all along.
4. At the old Mail Depot, every Wednesday afternoon, a regular customer would exclaim, ‘Where’s my package?!’ and then turn around to discover it had been sitting right next to him the whole time. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, asking for his long-overdue package. A delivery driver patiently explained that it was on the counter, but the man insisted he’d never seen it before. Just as they were about to give up, someone shouted, ‘Hey, isn’t that your box?’ The neighbor turned sharply—and sure enough, there it was, nestled between two identical brown boxes.
