Thanks Boris. The sign on the mailbox says "metered mail only." There
are two other boxes next to it. I think one is for mail with stamps,
the other for next day Express Mail. A lot of businesses have their own
postal meter.
It was fun to watch the teenagers last night. I'll post some more pics
at a later date. I was pleased to see how pleasant and fun loving they
seemed to be. Note the girl in the middle has braces. I saw a lot of
those in this rather well-to-do town. I couldn't help chuckling to
myself as I was thinking that there might well be a million dollars
worth of braces on a mere quarter mile strip of Old Woodward Avenue.

Hi!
I was in downtown Birmingham, Michigan last night, hanging out at the
gallery. (The owner asked that I come by now and then on busy nights.
I've been neglecting that duty.) Anyway, on warm Friday nights the
streets of Birmingham are full of teenagers, the majority of whom are
very pleasant and quite colorful. I caught this attractive trio
hanging out around a mailbox near the theater. They happily posed for
me when I raised my camera. It was the *istD with the FA 35/2. Open
shade at dusk f8, 1/30, ISO 200.

They're teenagers all right :). What I find a bit funny is the sign on
the mail post - is the mail supposed to be pattern/center/spot
metered? :)
You know Paul, I just watched some 25 years old Soviet movie related
to school, so in light of this - it really works for me. I am
comparing what I saw in the movie, what I remember I was 20 years ago,
and these kids - it just works. Thankfully, sometimes teenagers are
just ... teenagers - very young people facing the real life...
