About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Post Office and noticed something odd—a faint, familiar scent wafting from inside. It smelled like freshly baked cookies mixed with old books and coffee. As he peered through the window, he saw an elderly gentleman wearing a tweed jacket and reading a dusty book while sipping tea. The man looked up, smiled warmly, and said, 'Morning, delivery guy! Your usual package is ready.' Turns out, it was just the friendly postmaster who always greeted everyone by their nickname—even if they were called 'Parcel'.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the University Post Office and noticed something peculiar on the bulletin board: ‘Free stamps for anyone who can explain why our mailbox is shaped like a giant banana.’ A delivery driver overheard him and joked, 'It's probably because bananas are cheaper than mailboxes!' The old man laughed heartily and replied, 'Well then, I’ll take ten free stamps!' And so, the University Post Office gained another legend—an elderly gentleman with a penchant for banana-shaped mailboxes.
3. One afternoon, a little girl walked into the University Post Office with her family. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at one of the mailboxes and whispered, ‘Mommy, why does that mailbox have a smiley face?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's just our special mailbox for happy letters!' The little girl giggled and asked if she could send a letter through it too. Her mom laughed and said, 'Of course you can!' And so, the smiling mailbox became a tradition in their neighborhood—everyone knew that when they saw its big grin, something nice was on its way.
4. One night, as employees were locking up the University Post Office, they heard an urgent announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please! All packages addressed to “Santa Claus” must be delivered directly to Room 101 of the Administration Building.’ Curious, one employee decided to check it out and found a small room filled with wrapped presents piled high. The next morning, everyone in the post office received a mysterious package labeled 'From Santa.' Inside was a note that read: "Merry Christmas from Room 101!" Since then, whenever someone mentions the University Post Office, people laugh and say, 'That’s where Santa has his secret workshop!'
