7209 East Calle Cuernavaca



On August 11, 2016, David Aber found another Doozy!

He wrote: “At first, I wasn’t sure that it really was a mailbox. So, I looked at it very closely. The face is hinged at the bottom for access to the inside. So, yes, it is a mailbox. It’s also one of the strangest I’ve run across. It looks like an insect with a human face. Also, the yard is full of metal sculptures.”

Next is a closeup of the top of the other side.


Someone has a good imagination!

Google Maps wasn't able to find it, but to see the location on Bing Maps, click there.

1934 South Avenida Planeta

About this wild yard, David Aber wrote: “The first photo is the mailbox by itself. The second photo shows the steampunk motorcycle behind it.”

The owner must have quite a sense of humor! David took the photos and sent them (thanks!) on July 31, 2016.



Update (March 8, 2019): David Aber, who took the photos above, was in that neighborhood just recently. He added: “…you included a photograph of a steampunk motor cycle in the yard behind the mailbox. The homeowner has added to, and repainted, the motorcycle. I now call it "Snoopy and Friend". I've also included the line "I'm going up the country babe, don't you wanna go?" from the song "Going Up The Country" by Canned Heat.

Here's another of the gems that David Aber found: Snoopy on top of a doghouse mailbox. He took the photo July 27th.

How do you find so many amazing mailboxes, Dave? (Thanks from all of us on this blog!)

David Aber caught this bright-colored desert-scene mailbox on July 13th, 2016. Next time we'll see another of the boxes he's found.
