About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something unusual on the counter—a package wrapped in brown paper with no return address or label. Curious, he picked it up and found that every day for weeks, another mysterious parcel appeared, each containing odd items like old newspapers, mismatched socks, and a note scribbled in pencil. Finally, one day an excited delivery driver arrived with a giant box labeled ‘Valley Hi Post Office Surprise!’ Inside were hundreds of letters addressed to everyone in town—some complaining about missing packages, others thanking them for the strange gifts. Turned out, it was just a big practical joke started by a local artist who wanted to brighten people’s days.
2. At dawn, when most mailboxes were empty, a mysterious envelope appeared outside Valley Hi's post office door. It bore no return address and had been sealed with an old-fashioned wax stamp. Inside, there was just a single sheet of paper with handwritten words: 'Your letter is late.' Turns out, it was a practical joke from a regular who always arrived late for his own mail pickup. Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who got to tell this story for years.
3. At dusk, when Valley Hi Post Office usually quietened down, an old stamp started appearing on outgoing letters—one no one recognized. One day, a delivery driver noticed that every letter he picked up had this mysterious stamp. Curious, he asked around and learned it was from ‘Mr. Q’, a regular who always sent anonymous letters to himself. Turns out, Mr. Q loved getting his own mail with a smiley face stamp! So now, at dusk, Valley Hi Post Office still stamps outgoing letters… just in case someone else needs a little cheer.
4. One day after closing hours, a delivery driver heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Anyone here for Package X-17?’ Curious, he pressed the button and said, 'Package X-17? Who’s claiming it?' A scratchy voice replied, 'It’s for Mr. Regular.' The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it—except Mr. Regular, who claimed he never ordered anything. Turns out, his cat had knocked over a package of cat treats labeled as 'Package X-17'.
