About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the postal clerk, ‘Why does it take forever for mail to arrive here?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, ‘Because Hillcrest Post Office is the only place where letters write themselves.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘I just saw a letter walking out of here!’ The clerk calmly smiled and said, ‘No wonder our mail always arrives late—we’ve got self-writing letters and walking deliveries now.’
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached Hillcrest Post Office, his coffee grew colder faster than usual. Curious, he stopped and took a sip—his cup was ice-cold! Turned out, an enthusiastic neighbor had been sneaking up behind him with a water hose, mistaking him for a mailman in need of refreshment. The delivery driver never forgot to bring extra change of clothes after that.
3. At dusk one evening, a delivery driver parked his truck and walked into the post office. On the counter lay an old, weathered envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. Curious, he picked it up—and that’s when things got interesting. He opened the envelope carefully, revealing a crumpled piece of paper with just one line: 'Please deliver this letter to yourself.' The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing it was probably some prank from a regular customer. As he left, he thought aloud, ‘Guess I’ll be seeing you around again, neighbor!’
4. At closing time one Friday, an old lady approached the counter and whispered, ‘Do you know why Hillcrest Post Office is always so quiet on Thursdays?’ The clerk leaned in conspiratorially. ‘Of course not,’ she said with a smile. The old lady grinned mischievously and whispered back, ‘Because it’s Thursday, dear, and everyone here is actually at the pub down the street!’ Everyone laughed as the old lady sauntered out, whistling a merry tune.
