bright box

I saw this vivid mailbox at L&T Auto, a wonderful auto parts place that specializes in VW's and Audis, while I was looking for a hubcap. The lot outside was filled with all kinds of Volkswagens and the tidy shop with all kinds of retro signs and other memorabilia. Why the mailbox? For nostalgia, for decoration, for Christmas, I was told. Nice folks and great service, but it gave me a pang to think that the mailbox was a bit of nostalgia.
