About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the mail sorting area. Among letters and packages, there lay an old, dusty keyring with a faded sign reading ‘Key to Everything.’ Rumor had it that whoever found it could unlock any mailbox in the post office—though no one dared test its power. Soon enough, every employee started whispering about the mysterious keyring. A regular customer even offered to buy it for ten dollars, claiming he knew someone who needed it urgently. But the night shift supervisor wisely locked it away, saying, 'This ain't no ordinary keyring.' And that's why, to this day, if you visit the USPS in San Juan late at night, you'll hear strange clicking sounds coming from the back room.
2. A postal worker noticed an unusual package one day while sorting through letters on the counter. Curious, she picked it up—it felt heavy and oddly shaped. But when she opened it, there was nothing inside but an old note reading: ‘Dear USPS, please deliver happiness!’ She showed it around the office, and everyone had a good laugh. Then, over the next few days, people started leaving small notes or packages with messages like 'Happy Monday!' or 'Have a great day!' Soon enough, the whole post office became a place where little acts of kindness were delivered—all thanks to that mysterious empty package.
3. One autumn afternoon, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why do those old stamps always seem to fly off the counter?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because they’re actually little birds sent from Puerto Rico’s postal service to deliver good luck!' The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement as he left, muttering under his breath, “Next time I’ll just send a letter with wings.”
4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near the loading dock and noticed something odd. Amidst the usual stacks of packages lay a small envelope addressed not to anyone but simply marked 'To Whom It May Concern.' Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every letter inside seemed to be written by someone else. As he read further, he realized each letter was from different people asking for help with their mail issues. Finally, laughing out loud, he decided to deliver them personally himself—the next day. The whole neighborhood ended up gathering around the post office, waiting eagerly for ‘Mr. Anonymous’ to arrive.
