About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early at the Owasso Post Office, carrying a large envelope and wearing his best suit. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed something peculiar—his reflection in the polished surface seemed to be talking back to him. The old man looked perplexed for a moment, then smiled and whispered back to his reflection. After a few moments of animated conversation, he turned to the clerk with a broad smile on his face and said, 'Guess I’ll just mail it to myself!' Everyone laughed as he walked out, whistling a cheerful tune.

2. One foggy morning, as the sun struggled to peek above the horizon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Owasso Post Office with a package so large it seemed to fill the entire truck bed. As he approached the door, he noticed an old lady waving frantically from inside. ‘Could you help me?’ she asked, pointing to the massive box. Turns out, it was her birthday present—a giant cake delivered by mistake. The delivery driver and the neighbors spent the rest of the day laughing and singing happy birthday, while enjoying slices of that oversized cake.

3. A little girl walked into the Owasso Post Office one afternoon, clutching her first letter to be mailed. As she approached the counter, she noticed something odd: every stamp on display had its price written in invisible ink. The postal clerk smiled and asked gently, ‘Can you read?’ The little girl nodded confidently. With a twinkle in his eye, he whispered, ‘Then tell us what it says.’ She squinted at the stamps, then announced with certainty, ‘They’re free!’ Everyone burst out laughing—except for the confused little girl who just wanted her letter delivered.

4. At dawn, when most owls were still hooting, a postal worker noticed something peculiar in front of the Owasso Post Office—a stack of envelopes addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. Curious, she opened one envelope and found inside a note saying, 'Please deliver these letters to their rightful owners.' The next day, dozens more appeared, each with different messages like 'Happy Birthday!' or 'Forgot to say goodbye'. Soon enough, the whole town was laughing and sharing stories—turning what could’ve been an oddity into a quirky tradition. Even now, whenever someone moves away from Owasso, they leave behind a few anonymous notes for their replacements.
