A salute to B Squared's mailboxes


There's a very funny photo blogger in Fort Lauderdale, Florida known as B Squared. Lately, he's been posting some very funny mail boxes he's located around his city. The other day, I happened upon these two mailboxes standing side by side chatting about the load of mail they have to bear and mentioned B Squared's Fort Lauderdale mailboxes. Well, they were so impressed, their little red flags flew up in unison in a salute to the mailboxes of Fort Lauderdale!

Naturally, I had to take a picture of this phenomenon.

B Squared mailboxes are legend over here, you have found a nice way to salute him!

I like mail boxes.

Bel hommage

These look like the mailbox my grandmother had. It was a thrill for me to put a letter in the box, and flip up the flag. Another thrill was when the flag was down, and I'd rush out to get the mail.

Yes, you had to :)

It's a nice take!

Clever post. B Squared will most likely be sending his reply by mail.

Phenomenal photo! This seems to be a heavy mail week for you!
Oh, that B Squared - he's a funny, good guy! (I hope you don't rub off on him, Jacob Meister!)

I second that salute. MB

This is a funny photo. You should hold a caption contest for this.... Or maybe a joke contest. "What did one mail box say to the next mail box...."

Lois said...

Of course you did! I have always enjoyed B Squared's blog and especially the mailboxes.

Oh goodness! Now we have two of you!! ;-)

Happy Friday!

@ Bibi - I still do that every day! Well, only when I put mail in the mailbox for the mailman to pick up.

You know I had a girlfriend mailbox, but I had to letter go.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Judy said...

LOL! No you couldn't have passed that up!

EG CameraGirl said...

Twin mailboxes. And to think you actually heard them chatting! Hmmmmm.

Lowell said...

@ Memphis - That's very good!

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...

LOL! What a riot! Cute.

These are so dark! Are they mourning? I wish we had nice ones though, we can't show you any!

Two Flags Up .. I'd say that was equal to a standing ovation!

PJ said...

I was totally confused when I saw this - well, more than usual - and I say "Flags off to you and 2B."
It's a pretty cool find. And sorry I haven't been visiting. I have the flu. '~(

Virginia said...

"Letter go"! HAR love that!

And a big salut to our B2 from me as well. I've got a mailbox up my sleeve to knock his socks off. I've just got to ask my friend at church tomorrow if I can photograph hers.

Great post Jacob.

I really do not need any other blogs to follow, but now I have to go check out B Squared...at least for the mailboxes...

B SQUARED said...

I am truly touched! Then again, many would agree with that. Thank you very much. Hope to find more, but the mail is a little slow these days.

I love the postbox, especially the little red on the top. It is similar to my postbox logo.

You can drop me postcard if you like :)
