"The Letterbox Formerly Known as Across the Board"
..U Island ..

Locate Main Street in Collinsville, IL.
Stand in front of the historic Miners Theater.
Walk east for one block.
Stand at the Corner.
Look down.
What a Mistake! Check your Compass.
Does something look askew to U?
Us too!
(I hate to admit I once worked for the company responsible for this blunder.)
If you don't get the mistake, that's OK.
Lucky for U, the arrow just happens to point U in the correct direction.
But no J-walking allowed.
Take the crosswalks like everyone else.
Look for this Bee-autiful Box high on a shelf.
Be sure to let them know why U came!


This box was the 2nd letterbox planted in the Illinois St.Louis Metro East
area. Due to "unforeseen" circumstance it was removed from circulation in
11/2000 and has just been REplanted. . It is now known as:
U ISLAND: the letterbox formerly known as Across the Board. .
When you visit the area, the reasons will become obvious (at least for a
while). .
Sorry ... no access on Sundays or some evenings after 5:30pm.

Happy Hunting

PS ... anyone who found this one at its original location can count this as a
new find .. if they find it again!
