About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was making his rounds one afternoon when he noticed something strange outside Broken Arrow Main Post Office. A regular customer, always seen with his hat pulled low, had suddenly started leaving the building without his usual package. Curious, the driver followed him down an alley and found him standing in front of a small shop, holding a bag of groceries. Turned out the man had forgotten they were closing early today. The delivery guy shook his head and chuckled, thinking, ‘Another day, another close shave.’

2. One morning, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked the postal clerk with a twinkle in her eye: 'Do you know why they call it Broken Arrow?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘No ma’am, I don’t.’ She leaned closer and whispered, ‘Because once upon a time, someone thought they saw a broken arrow on the ground here—turns out it was just a bent paperclip!’ The whole town laughed, including the old lady who said, “That’s what they tell me!”

3. One day, while sorting through mail in the late afternoon, a young postal worker overheard an old man whispering to himself: ‘I wonder if they deliver packages to ghost towns anymore?’ Curious, the young worker followed the sound and found an envelope addressed to ‘Ghost Town, USA’. Smiling, she thought it was just another prank until her supervisor appeared behind her. ‘That’s our new neighbor,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. ‘He moved into the old abandoned house down the road.’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver was making his rounds when he heard a peculiar sound coming from inside the post office. It was like someone humming along to invisible music, but it grew louder as he neared the front door. As he approached, he saw an old man standing in front of the counter, gently tapping his fingers on the glass and smiling to himself. The driver waved hello, but the man didn’t seem to notice him. Only after the sun rose did the delivery guy realize that the mysterious humming was actually the old fellow whistling to his reflection in the window—because he had forgotten to turn off his alarm clock. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that day.
