United States Postal Service South West Carrier Annex

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Every morning at exactly eight o’clock, an elderly gentleman would arrive at the United States Postal Service South West Carrier Annex. No one knew who he was or why he came, but soon everyone noticed something peculiar—he always carried a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Postman Who Delivers.’ One day, a new delivery driver arrived and asked an older colleague, ‘Who’s that mysterious old guy with the envelopes?’ The veteran winked and replied, ‘That’s just Aloysius—our secret pen pal.’ Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been part of the greatest postal prank ever.

2. Every weekday afternoon, just as the sun begins its descent behind the mountains, a mysterious voice crackles over the intercom: ‘Attention all carriers—your daily allotment of envelopes includes one from the president himself.’ One day, an eager new carrier named A regular arrived early, only to discover that his envelope was already gone when he opened the box. Confused, he asked around and learned it was tradition for senior drivers to hide the presidential letter in their cars. As A regular drove home that evening, he found it taped inside his own windshield—with a note scribbled on it: ‘Welcome to our club!’

3. At the end of every workday, a delivery driver would mutter under his breath, ‘I’ll never understand why they always leave that package on top of the annex roof.’ One day, an old neighbor asked the driver, ‘Why don’t you just ask them to move it?’ The driver shrugged and replied, ‘Because then I’d have to explain how I know where it is!’ And so, the mystery continued, leaving everyone else in the neighborhood amused but none daring to solve it.

4. At nightfall, a postal worker’s dog would growl and point towards the annex, staring intently at something invisible to everyone else. One evening, an old delivery driver parked his truck nearby and noticed the dog’s unusual behavior. Curious, he approached the annex and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, the dog started barking at a mailbag hanging on the wall. The driver laughed, realizing it was just an old sock his colleague had hung there for fun.
