We had one of these at the northwest corner of Regent & Randall. They took it down a long time ago. I shit you not, the US Postal Service installed a bunch of mailboxes painted like R2D2 all over the country. You used to be able to get more information at http://uspsjedimaster.com. But no longer. Nobody can get into that site, not anymore. Who writes a website address on a mail-carrying robot anyway? The R2D2 mailbox is now in the realm of conspiracy theorists. And those with a keen long-term memory for the unusual. I found this picture on someone's flikr page here. Oh how I wish I had dropped a fat package in R2D2's analog input port when I had the chance.
