Cranky Crane Mailbox

Cranky In The Dean Street Area of Bonita Farms

Actually, there were more than a few really fun mailboxes in the Old Bonita section of Orange Creek.  It took me a couple of tries to get a picture of this for a variety of weather related reasons and one day of “mail carrier canned goods pick up day”, when it was adorned with Publix bags of filled with non-perishables.

The mailbox is named Cranky, it’s on the little yellow part.  There must be a story. Who just builds a crane mailbox?  If you’re wondering, Cranky is located on Orangewood Drive off of Matheson Drive in Bonita Farms.

    cranky appears to be an oil drilling platform, and now people are asking me, because I own Bonita Springs Real Estate, “have you got oil balls rolling up on the beaches” much like when a hurricane whacks Brownsville or the Yucatan, my Florida real estate takes a whack. Florida’s beautiful weather is easy and popular to pick on. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your writing. Steve

    • Thanks, Steve. I’ve been posting update photos of the beach because I am getting so many search inquiries about the oil and even emails from worried home owners. I’ve even mentioned it in the column just so people know we’re still open for business and have pretty white beaches.
