About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man began leaving mysterious notes in the Shreveport Post Office. Each note contained only one word: ‘Wait.’ Finally, after weeks of waiting, someone asked what it was all about. The old man whispered, 'Just wanted everyone here to know that the best coffee in town is sold across the street.' With a twinkle in his eye, he added, 'And don't forget to tip your barista!'
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the Shreveport Post Office, he swore he heard someone humming classical music inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw only empty counters and closed doors. The next morning, though, everyone agreed the tune seemed familiar—like something they’d heard before. Finally, it turned out that a regular mail carrier had been practicing his violin in the parking lot after hours. Everyone got a good laugh when they realized the source of the mysterious melody was just an enthusiastic musician with perfect acoustics.
3. At closing time, when the last stamp had been sold and the door locked, a postal worker heard someone whisper, ‘Wait for me here tomorrow.’ Curious, he stayed late the next day—and found an old envelope addressed to himself. Inside was just a note: 'I’m too slow today. See you again tomorrow!' Turned out it was from the building’s ghost mailman, who delivered letters even after hours.
4. At closing time, when the last envelope had been stamped, an elderly woman entered the post office with a strange smile on her face. She approached the counter and whispered something into the clerk’s ear. From that day on, every evening around sunset, a soft voice could be heard over the PA system: ‘Remember to mail your dreams before midnight.’ One evening, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the message and thought it was just a prank. But then he started dreaming of winning the lottery—and sure enough, next week he found a ticket in his mailbox worth ten thousand dollars! Since then, everyone jokes that you should mail not only letters but also your lucky charms. The old lady’s whisper continues to echo through the post office, reminding us all to believe in magic.
