I always thought mailboxes were a weird tv thing for rural areas. Don't you guys have letterboxes?

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

⚠️ WARNING: P.U.I ⚠️

Letterboxes are seen in cities sometimes, but in the middle of nowhere, everyone has a mailbox by the road. Sometimes they are clustered together, a bunch of boxes in the same place so the mail carrier doesn't have to drive a mile down some unpaved dead end road.

I like to decorate mine! Our previous one rusted out so I painted the numbers onto our new one (instead of using stickers) and then painted gold ginko leaves all over it with some bugs hiding around them.

Monument mailboxes were popular for a while when I was a kid in Florida. Someone in the neighborhood had one shaped like a manatee!
