They are elusive and mysterious. They lurk where you least expect them. They stand among us at street corners casting ominous rounded shadows upon the ground we walk on. The United State Postal Service Blue Post Boxes serve us as reliable, dependable receptacles for our mail but where are they when you need them the most? What time will the next postal carrier service this domed unit? 10SBoulevard.com is embarking in its boldest community effort yet to catalog the Blue Boxes of the Museum District and Carytown. List your post box in the comments along with the time of pickups and we will compile a map of all the locations we've received.
