About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular customer entered the Shreveport Post Office one morning and asked the clerk, ‘Why does every package here seem to be addressed as “To Whom It May Concern”?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's because most of our packages are actually addressed to a local restaurant called Lynbrook.' The regular laughed and said, 'So I’m not the only one who gets mail meant for someone else!' And from that day on, whenever anyone received a misaddressed package, they would joke, 'It’s probably for Lynbrook's!'
2. At dawn, when most postal workers were still stretching in their pajamas, a delivery driver arrived at Lynbrook Post Office with an unusual package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with duct tape. Curious, he opened it carefully—inside was just a note scribbled on old envelope paper: ‘Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this letter to everyone you know. It’s important.’ Below was a smiley face drawn in marker. The delivery driver shrugged and laughed, thinking it must be some prank from a regular.
3. At dusk, while a mailman was sorting letters in the dimly lit hallway of Lynbrook Post Office, he swore he heard someone humming ‘Happy Birthday’ in perfect pitch. Curious, he stopped his work and looked around, but found no one. The next day, the same tune played again, only louder—until finally, an elderly lady from the neighborhood walked in smiling, handed him a birthday card, and said, 'Happy birthday, honey!' Turned out she mistook the post office for her own living room.
4. At midnight, when even the night owls had gone home, a delivery truck pulled up to the Shreveport Post Office. The lone security guard heard an unusual sound coming from inside the building. The guard approached cautiously and found a sleepy pigeon pecking at some leftover mail. ‘Hey buddy,’ he chuckled, ‘next time use the front door!’ He shooed it out with a broom, and as dawn broke, everyone in town was laughing about the early-morning feathered visitor.
