Where in Berkeley?

Know where this is? Take a guess and let us know in the Comments.

Update: 9:46am: This great photo was taken at the US Post Office Berkeley Detached Delivery Unit at 1150 8th Street. Neil Mishalov, who took the pic, says the view is from the Codornices Creek Trail “which is contiguous with the US Post Office Detached Delivery Unit site.” Congratulations on NAParish on being this week’s winner!

    This must be inside the parking area for the USPS facility at 1150 8th Street — as mentioned in this Berkeleyside article (http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/07/09/second-postal-site-in-berkeley-for-sale/).  I’d say it was taken from a vantage point near the intersection of 8th and 9th Streets: http://goo.gl/maps/CVTf .

    Mailbox Riot.

    Or behind the Adeline post office, just south of Woolsey……?

    I agree with this.  Look at the buildings visible in the background (and above the cinderblock wall).  Those are buildings that front the east side of 8th St north of Harrison.

    Yup, where 8th St meets Codornices Creek (across which is Albany and the UC Village). That little stretch of creek, between 6th and 8th, has been daylighted and volunteers have been doing creekside restoration. It’s actually a pleasant place to walk.

    Way to go, NAParish.  :)

    One of these would make a great little earthquake supply boxes in my back yard!

    The only known location of its kind, no one knows why mailboxes make the thousand-mile trip here to call this destination their final resting place – a mailbox graveyard.

    The graffiti tagged ones could easily get $2,500 apiece if marketed to the right designer. You see similar (faux) graffiti tagged at NY NY in Vegas…

    So that’s why there are no mailboxes in my neighborhood!

    It looks like a few of them had too much to drink.

     8th and 9th Streets intersect?  Is there an untold story here?
