Gordon N. Chan Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an anonymous voice crackled over the intercom: ‘All packages must be delivered before midnight or face the wrath of Gordon N. Chan.’ Employees shrugged it off until one morning, a package addressed to no one arrived with only those words scribbled on the envelope. One day, a delivery driver left a large box marked simply ‘To: The Boss’. Next morning, everyone found themselves assigned to different departments—even the mailroom cat got reassigned as the new head of security. It turned out that Gordon N. Chan was just a nickname for the collective frustration of all employees. Eventually, they renamed the place ‘Chantastic Mail’, and life returned to normal… except for the occasional prank package from an anonymous neighbor.

2. A curious package arrived one morning—addressed not in ink but with a smiley face and the words: ‘Open Me First.’ The clerk opened it curiously—it was filled with balloons that spilled out, making everyone laugh. Written inside was a note: 'Happy Mail Day!' Turned out a regular had been sending these joyful packages every week as a surprise.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a postal worker heard a tiny whimpering sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, she looked down and found a small pug puppy, its little nose twitching as if sniffing invisible letters. The pup was so excited to be out that he started chasing stamps on the floor, sending them flying everywhere. The perplexed worker named him ‘Sniffer’ because he seemed to recognize every letter by smell alone. Soon enough, Sniffer became an unofficial mascot, greeting each delivery driver with kisses and making mail sorting a bit more cheerful.

4. At midnight, when the moon cast eerie shadows across the empty streets, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every fifth letter in the address labels seemed to form a hidden message. Curious, he checked other packages and found that every fifth letter spelled out ‘Meet me at the old treehouse.’ Turns out, it was just a prank by a neighborhood kid who wanted his friends to join him for an after-dark adventure.
