Mailbox archive: Saddle up! 5644 East Fairmount Street



This is the first of a series of mailboxes I photographed but never published on the blog. Back on December 8, 2012, I was out hunting mailboxes, found this one, and was so amazed that I forgot to write the address where I found it! It's a mailbox with a “hump” on the post and a saddle on top.

Luckily, I had the geotagging feature on my cell phone turned on. Last week I checked the photo on a map and found it. A quick look at Google Maps Street View shows that the saddle wasn't there anymore — at least in March 2019 when the Street View car drove by. It's quite a scene… worth a stop if you're in the area (northeast of Craycroft & Speedway)! I'll include that photo below.
