Updated image with different designs of post box from around the world.
This updated image includes the addition of a Canadian Community Mail Box (3rd from left). The real things have a number of small aluminium doors on the front for lots of people's mail to be delivered to. I have been told that there can be 1 to 3 of these grouped together in one place. Presumably, it depends on how many houses it serves.
So, from left to right, we have a British post box, an American post box, a Canadian Communtiy post box, a Standard Canadian post box, an older style of Canadian post box, and an Australian post box.
The yellow half of the Australian post box is for Express mail and the red half is for Normal mail.

I live in a old Soviet apartment building and I lived there since my birth and all around i can see these cursed buildings and they alone can give depression.
Grand Concourse, Concourse Village, Bronx, New York City, New York, United States
The Bronx Post Office, built in 1935-37, was designed by the architect Thomas Harlan Ellett in a style< which combined modified classical ornament with the elegant simplicity of modem architecture, A description in Architectural Forum for June 1938 states: "A distinct modem influence and the continuing tradition of "government classic' are the two conflicting tendencies which have resulted in the first signs of vitality in American post office design, and the new Bronx Post Office is an excellent example of best recent work ... the building subtly suggests a Georgian precedent without the use of traditional detail Plans for a much needed Bronx Post Office were announced in 1934; the building was to be erected at the Grand Concourse site which the Federal Government had purchased twenty-five years earlier.
Construction began in 1935 under the direction of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department, Louis A..Simon, and of the Supervising Engineer, Neal A. Melick. The cornerstone was laid on June 13, 1936, with Postmaster General James A. Farley and New York City Postmaster Albert Goldman officiating. Farley made the occasion an opportunity to assail the critics of the New Deal. The same officials were present at the opening of the new building on May 15, 1937, when it was announced that the building would be known as the Bronx Central Annex and would serve as the Bronx headquarters of the New York Post Office.
The Post Office occupies an entire block. Its smooth gray brick walls rise above a granite terrace which varies in height along the side elevations to conform to the slope of the street. Broad, shallow steps lead up to the three entrances facing the Grand Concourse. The terrace is enclosed by a classically-inspired balustrade, flanked at the entrance steps by blocks decorated with highly stylized swags and rosettes and carrying flagpoles. The ornate foliate bronze flagpole bases have a rather baroque character.
The most prominent features of the building are the graceful window openings set within marble arches which contrast handsomely with the smooth gray brick walls. Radial brick arches, above impost block level, enframe the marble arches of the window openings. The three openings which contain the bronze entrances are set within deep reveals. The facades are crowned by a simple continuous stone bandcourse set with stylized rosettes and containing the inscription "Bronx - United States Post Office - New York."
Two sculptures, larger than life-size, affixed to the front facade add further interest to the building. The designs were chosen from over 400 models submitted in a national competition held in 1936. "The Letter," designed by Henry Kreis, portrays a mother and her child receiving a message from an absent member of the family, "Noah," by Charles Rudy, depicts the Patriarch, with a deer in one arm, straddling the Ark, and receiving the dove's message that the flood was subsiding. Also of considerable artistic and historical interest are thirteen murals in the main lobby depicting the occupations of American workers, painted by Ben Shahn and his wife, Bernards Bryson, in August 1939.
The elegant simplicity of the building with its finely exacted details make it one of the best examples of government architecture in this style* It is notable not only for its architecture but also for its sculpture and paintings. It met a long-felt need in The Bronx when built, and continues to serve that function today.

There is something gently wonderful about the selfless act of placing dropped and lost items out of harm's way, in the hope that the owner will return and find them.

After decades of rampant technological advancements, in which humanity believed they could do anything and go anywhere, Earth collapsed. Millions died by the lack of food, water and fresh air.
The few that remain survive by scavenging what they can to keep their lives going on.
On a now arid planet, two former astronauts and their companion bot roam across the globe on an old rocket maintenance airship searching for parts to fulfill what they are born to do: going beyond the sky, across the infinite blackness of space, exploring the unknown.
Some say they are crazy, others believe they can save mankind. But for them it's always an adventure, one they wish would never end.

Most towns will greet you with a plain sign or, at best, a larger sign with "Welcome to whatever" on it. Post, a small town about 40 miles (64 km) southeast of Lubbock, has this nice display. On February 27, 2016.
