About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early at Interbay Post Office. As he approached the counter, he noticed something unusual on the bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess the weight of our new mail truck.’ A delivery driver named Joe stepped forward confidently and guessed, ‘18,000 pounds!’ The crowd laughed as the actual weight was announced—‘18,500 pounds.’ Joe shrugged, took a donut, and said, “Close enough for government work.” Everyone had a good laugh that day.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Interbay Post Office and noticed something unusual—a mysterious scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the open door. Curious, he stepped inside and found no one but an empty cookie jar on the counter. Smiling, he thought it must be a neighbor’s prank—someone leaving treats for good luck. That day, Interbay Post Office became known as the place where friendly cookies mysteriously appeared, always just out of reach.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Interbay Post Office one foggy morning. ‘I’ll bet,’ he muttered, ‘that today’s mail will be even slower than usual.’ Just then,” a voice called from inside, “all mail must wait!” Everyone looked up to see an old lady waving from her wheelchair on the porch. “It’s my daily exercise routine,” she explained with a twinkle in her eye. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, muttering under his breath that some days being late was definitely worth it.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Interbay Post Office on a windy afternoon. He glanced around and noticed a familiar face leaning against the wall, eyes closed, completely oblivious to the storm. The driver honked gently, and the man’s eyes popped open like a startled owl. ‘Hey there,’ he said with a smile, ‘you’ve missed quite a show.’ The man yawned, stretched, and replied, ‘Must be some storm outside.’ They both laughed, and the driver thought: maybe next time I’ll bring him a cup of coffee.’
