About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached Davie Street Post Office, an old man was already standing outside, muttering something under his breath. The old man glanced up and nodded curtly. The delivery driver placed the box on the counter, but as he turned around, he noticed the old fellow had vanished into thin air—literally! It seemed the old guy was one of those ghostly regulars who’d been haunting Davie Street Post Office for decades. The driver shrugged, smiled, and said aloud, ‘Guess I’ll just leave it here then,’ before walking off whistling.

2. One day, an elderly lady entered the post office and asked the clerk, ‘Why do you always stamp our letters so hard?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, it's not that we stamp them hard—we just want your letters to get there as quickly as possible!' The elderly lady laughed and said, 'Well then, no wonder they never arrive on time!' Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the usually serious postal workers.

3. Late one night, a postal worker heard an eerie humming coming from inside Davie Street Post Office. Curious, they investigated but found nothing out of place—until the next morning when everyone started receiving strange letters addressed to ‘The Next Person’. Finally, after weeks of confusion, it turned out that a new intern had accidentally programmed the mail sorting machine to randomly redistribute letters. The whole town got a good laugh—and a few unexpected packages—before things returned to normal.

4. One afternoon, while sorting mail on the counter, a young postal worker noticed something odd—a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Curious, she opened it only to find another note reading, ‘Now It’s Your Turn!’ She laughed and passed it along to her colleague. The chain continued for weeks—each new employee finding a note urging them to keep the tradition alive. Eventually, an old man picked up the last note, smiled warmly, and wrote back: 'Davie Street Post Office: Serving our community with love since forever!' Everyone burst into laughter when they saw his reply.
