About

My friends and I set up red mailboxes around the city for strangers to write letters to each other. Just for kicks.

We put them up in public parks, community spaces and even partner with small businesses and local venues.

Every time we find a new letter, it feels like discovering treasure. We hope you like and feel the same.
