Obsession: Mail chutes
My favorite thing about visiting the dentist would have to be the mail chutes in the old, old building. I'm obsessed. The Cutler mail chute was invented in 1883. According to Wikipedia, there are still 900 active chutes in New York City. I am dying to see one in action.

Fo real! I've always been obsessed with these!
ReplyDeleteI settle for my trash chute. It's not so fun. It's kinda smelly.
ReplyDeleteTrash chute, eh? You should see if they can put in a laundry chute. My grandma's house has one... much more pleasantly scented.
ReplyDeleteThings get stuck in chutes!
