- Go to The Decline of the Blue Mailbox
I also wonder if postal mail will disappear entirely at some point in the future.

We have a blue mailbox right across the street from the post office and at the Library, which makes mailing a letter or bill convenient. I am a little sad that e-mail is becoming a priority instead of hand written letters. I still enjoy getting a letter in the mailbox, which now only happens occasionally.

You have me wondering about the blue boxes, too! I can't even think of one place where one would be in my town let alone my neighborhood! I live very close to a postal center and never think of looking for one so that may be why I do not have a clue! I did read recently regarding a thought of more junk mail might save the USPS, but then the would impact the tree situation too dramatically for me! I love how you entertain subject that spark my interest, too! sam

Well you would have to go a long way to find a blue one here FS they are red, but one must be careful some are host to snails and guess what they do.

I would not predict what the world will be like in five years anymore.
Never did I ever believe that book shops would close. So many changes in my life.
