The featured picture of this piece is an uncommon image that showcases a famous coastal New England town. For a summer destination known famously for its clam chowder (or “chowdah” as affectionately articulated by the locals) along with the seaside inns and summer rentals, a mailbox is the last thing that comes to mind. Yet, when I was admiring the lush greenery of a sea salt marsh perfectly complemented by the backdrop of distant coastal structures, I found myself captivated by an aged black metal box on a weathered wooden post with a fastened, rusty metal support, ideally situated in the foreground of a typical drive-by sight in this northeastern state.
