Opinion | Wait a Minute, Mr. Postman

Lakewood, Ohio.

I wanted to repaint a graffiti-tagged U.S. Postal Service mailbox. It sits in front of an apartment building my family has owned since 1965 in Lakewood, Ohio. I wanted to make it blue again. That simple. This would be like an art project, but it wouldn’t be cool or edgy. Just the opposite. Call it “Keeping Up the Neighborhood.”
