About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At North Side Station, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve seen everything—except today!’ as he watched an old man sorting mail while humming an unfamiliar tune. As he approached, the old man turned and smiled, revealing a patchwork quilt sewn into his shirt pocket. ‘That’s my lucky stitch,’ he said, continuing to hum softly. The driver shook his head, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll believe anything but that.’
2. At dawn, when most postal workers were just arriving, an elderly neighbor started leaving mysterious packages outside North Side Station's door. Each package contained a single banana wrapped in newspaper—just enough for a quick breakfast before starting the day. Months later, when everyone was scratching their heads, it turned out that the neighbor had simply run out of time for morning shopping and decided to leave his own bananas for the staff.
3. At North Side Station, every morning around sunrise, someone began hearing the sound of distant laughter echoing through the mailroom. No one else could hear it, but the night clerk swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping between stacks of packages. One day, a new delivery driver arrived and insisted on staying late to investigate. By sunset, everyone was laughing so hard they couldn’t stop—turns out, an old cassette tape of Saturday Night Live had been playing in the background all along. The ‘ghost’ turned out to be just a humorous prank by a regular who worked nights.
4. At North Side Station, a delivery driver grumbled one morning, ‘Today’s mail looks heavier than usual.’ Little did he know that from then on, every letter seemed to weigh exactly like a brick. Soon enough, everyone in town noticed: letters stuck to walls, packages refused entry, and even birthday cards weighed down doors. But one day, an old neighbor joked, ‘Maybe we should start charging extra for heavy mail!’ And with that, North Side Station became known not just for its postal service but also for its unique fee structure—‘per pound of paper’.
