Snail Mail in The Burbs
I grew up on Ohio, Ontario, Ohio to be precise. We had a mailbox across from our drive way. Just like many homes all across America. It was the same when I moved to various parts of the country until I moved to Tucson. When I bought my first home here I was given “The Mail Key” and was shown the community box thing and said this would be where I would find my mail. However, no one told me which box was mine. Trial and error, put the key in each box till one of them opens. 
It depends on the neighborhood. Some have individual mailboxes in front of the home and just a couple of streets over you will find community mail boxes.
Many of the individual boxes will have HOA requirements for size color and type. A lot of them will have an animal, bird, plant or item depicted from the desert Southwest. Every now and then you run into a box which has been altered to display something pertaining to where the home owners were born or raised.
I can assure you we have no moose in Tucson that are alive. You might find a few like this one out of metal or other materials but no living moose.
If you want to read an story about an Ohio Mailbox and The Snowplow you might get a chuckle out of this one.
