About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver sorted mail in Fort Lowell Post Office, he noticed something strange—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. It wasn’t baking time yet, and no one else seemed to notice. Curious, the driver followed the scent down a dimly lit hallway until he found an old janitorial closet filled with boxes of assorted cookies donated by local bakers. A note on the door read: ‘For employees only—help yourself!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood tradition nobody bothered to mention. The end.

2. A regular customer entered the Fort Lowell Post Office one afternoon, carrying an envelope addressed to ‘The Lucky One.’ No return address was visible. The clerk looked puzzled but took the envelope anyway. Later that day, a delivery driver arrived with another envelope, also addressed to 'The Lucky One.' The postal worker shook her head and smiled: 'Guess someone's having more luck than sense!'

3. While sorting letters late one night, a postal worker heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Next letter for Mr. Johnson… delivered!’ Curious, the worker turned around and saw only an empty hallway. The next day, everyone in the office started receiving mysterious notes with their names on them—delivered! It turned out that an enthusiastic new delivery driver was playing a prank, leaving notes wherever he went. The whole town had a good laugh, and Fort Lowell Post Office became known as the place where mail came alive.

4. In the Fort Lowell Post Office, after hours when everyone had left, a curious cat would occasionally appear, darting between stacks of mail and meowing softly as if it were delivering secret messages. One night, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled into the empty post office, only to be greeted by a sleepy-eyed tabby who seemed to know exactly where everything was filed away. The two chatted amiably until dawn, with the cat offering helpful advice on sorting letters—until finally, they realized neither remembered how they got there in the first place.
