About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Southwest Carrier Annex. At first, he thought it might be his imagination, but soon others began reporting the same eerie noise. Finally, they called in an old handyman who declared with a twinkle in his eye that the hum was just an ancient fan cooling the mailroom’s vintage air conditioner. The driver laughed it off, saying, ‘Guess I’ll never hear those letters “PS” in the same way again.’
2. Have you ever seen mailboxes move on their own? A curious delivery driver often wondered if they did, noticing some envelopes mysteriously appearing in different slots each night. One night, our intrepid delivery driver decided to stay and watch. To his amusement, he saw a regular dropping off letters through the wrong slot as he walked home from the pub. Turns out, it wasn’t the mailboxes that were moving—just people’s sense of direction after happy hours!
3. Have you heard about the Southwest Carrier Annex mailbox that seems to know when you're watching? For weeks now, whenever anyone pauses to admire its vintage design, it mysteriously swings open just a crack—like it's winking at us! One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had noticed the mail slot changing colors depending on the time of day. It was like some sort of optical illusion! Then, from across the street, a neighbor waved and whispered, ‘It’s probably just the sunset playing tricks on your eyes.’ The whole thing turned out to be nothing more than a charming urban legend—except for the occasional wink.
4. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar one day while unloading packages. Among the usual boxes and envelopes, there lay a small, dusty harmonica nestled in the corner of the annex. As he picked it up, an old letter fell out, addressed to ‘Mr. Southwest Wind’. The driver smiled, thinking maybe someone was playing a prank. Later that evening, while having dinner with his neighbors, they all agreed it must be a ghostly harmonica left behind by a long-forgotten mail carrier. And so, whenever anyone receives a strange package or unexpected letter, they say, ‘It’s probably just the southwest wind blowing through again.’
