Why this box at 11650 East Speedway Boulevard?

This blog is almost ten years old. (Look for a 10th anniversary post on December 12th.) One of my guidelines has been that I usually don't show mass-produced mailboxes, even if they're made by hand. (You can read more by clicking Not these mailboxes, there or at the top of any blog page.) When David Aber emailed some box photos on March 27, I searched using Google Image Search (go to images.google.com and click the camera icon in the search bar). Turns out that Amish people made it by hand. (Here's a Britannica article with more info: Amish: North American religious group.)
Because the blog has been online for so long, I decided to remind us that boxes (usually!) need to be unique. Next time. 😁

The mailbox is at Pegasus Veterinary.

802 South 8th Avenue: What's this?

From time to time I see a mailbox with parts I can't identify. Here's one:
I also can't figure out why it needs a curved post. (Hmmmm… I guess the post fits with the general weirdness of the box.)
If you have a clue, please leave a comment below. (You can be anonymous.)

I drove by — and scratched my head for a while — on March 16, 2022.
