Muvico vs. Regal What if they both lose?
Years ago, long before I became a spinster, I raised my kids in Bonita Springs, Florida. I recall the day The Prado shopping center was built and the day the new movie theater came to town. Regal Cinema opened it’s doors and most Friday and Saturday [...]

Not Every Day is Sunny In Bonita Springs
Even Mini-Me said, “Isn’t this the strangest day in May, it’s so gray”. We do get those gray days here every once in a while. I came back with, “Funny you should mention that, I took a picture of a Poinciana tree and the sky was so gray, [...]

Security Doesn’t Cost, It Pays
The tenant in an Eldorado Acres home moved out and didn’t leave a key. After I gave it a valiant effort at attempted burglary the owner of the home asked me for a locksmith to just pick the locks and rekey the door. I gave the owner Mikey G’s [...]

Happy Birthday Krusty
Today is Krusty’s birthday if you didn’t guess by the title. I’ve been put in charge of throwing a soiree with tacos as the entrée, orange soda and a Publix cake. Yes, there was an order placed. Hey, I have to let him think he’s getting away with something just [...]

Leoni’s Pizza Delivery in Estero Florida
As luck would have it I was visiting a family member in Marsh Landing in Estero and I got hungry. Marsh Landing is across the street from the Coconut Point Mall and technically in Estero but its sort of the “gray area” of the city line. It was [...]

   Veterinary Animal Hospital For Bonita’s Best Residents
Today I drove the shopping center called the Centre at Bonita Springs.  It’s where the Publix grocery and Kmart is at Bonita Beach Road and US 41.  I passed White Sands Animal Clinic.  There was a truck backed up to the door, Dr. Mason’s truck.  Sunday morning was spent [...]

  Computer Repair in Bonita Springs, Florida 
Ok, I’m back in action.  Thanks to Platinum Coast Technology of Bonita Springs, again. (again and again) 
My laptop ended up getting gunky after Comcast installed some junk on it - booo!  It wasn’t cooperating, freezing up, programs wouldn’t open.  All sorts of bad stuff was just slowly getting worse.
Although I [...]

Cancer, Cosmetics and Frozen Peas 
Today I stopped into Ulta in Estero Florida at the Coconut Point Mall.  It’s a make up, accessory, beauty product store. I’m not really sure how it’s classified.  I just know they have isles and isles of make up by literally dozens and dozens of different manufacturers. 
I’m not a huge make [...]

Pottery as Art | Mexican Pottery
During the last couple of weeks I’ve watched the inventory get placed at a new business on Old US 41 in Bonita Springs.  The building was once the Jacob’s Interlock Paving of Bonita Springs building and The Village Haus a while back.  Since it’s been empty for a spell the [...]

Bonita Springs Art Show | Art League of Bonita Springs
Today was the day. Together with my Mini-me I made a trip to the Art League of Bonita Springs. It’s one of those places I pass almost daily but I’ve never stopped in. Spurred on by a Google news alert about the gift [...]

Something Naughty in The Window - That Special Dress
On my way into “Q”, uh, that’s Quiznos in The Prado at Bonita Springs I walk by a dress shop named “That Special Dress”.  I’m sort of not a dress person and next to never have the opportunity to wear a gown, but a girl can dream can’t [...]

The Anti-Ironing Zone - Dry Cleaning in Bonita Springs
Several months ago I stumble onto One Price Cleaners.  I had been a loyal customer of a different cleaner for years but a “creepy” started working there and I had to leave that scene.  It took me three weeks of driving the old cleaners before “creepy” wasn’t at [...]

Bonita Springs Homeowner Insurance
The Southwest Florida and Bonita Springs area has not gone without insurance growing pains.  A few years ago, after a succession of storms, big insurance dumped us.  Almost every one of us lost our insurance; cancelled on the spot.  Shamefully, our government allowed it to happen.  Our local Bonita springs insurance brokers [...]

  
Bonita Bubbles Car Wash
The dirtiest car in sunny Bonita Springs usually is registered to me.  I hate washing cars.  The worst thing that happened to me in the last year was when I drove to a puddle of tar.  Apparently, baby oil will melt tar.  At least that is what my son the pavement-ologist says.  [...]
