Mailbox Placement

Our neighbor came to us and asked if we could move the box a little closer to the road.  Apparently the mailman had to drive in the grass a little to get to the mailbox, and this was making the grass die.  Being neighborly we said yes we will move it.  I think we should take this opportunity to upgrade to a nice residential mailbox.  The one we have is the old standard white mailbox.  I am thinking that something more attractive is in order.  There is such a variety of mailboxes now, that you can choose from rustic, to modern and everything in between!  Not only would our neighbor be happy that we moved the box, but we would get something really nice out of it!  I say that is a win-win situation!
