Tuesday Evening at Lakes of San Souci
Since I didn’t receive any protest email or notes of concern I suppose nobody noticed that I missed last Friday’s mailbox. Was I out of ideas? No. Is there a creative mailbox embargo? No. I’ve been going through a crisis. My laptop, my bestest friend is dying. I’ve been [...]

Old Bonita Springs Mailbox
See that? That house in the background hiding behind the palm tree? There are about 20 of those houses in town. I know where some of them are. They were built about 25 years ago. I guess someone had a plan and just sprinkled them through town. They stand out a little [...]

Nothing Runs Like a Deere, on a Post, Planted in Dirt
When the storm called Fay (2008) came through Bonita Springs I took photos and did a little video to show people that mainstream media kind of has to sell commercial time and that we really were OK down here. Well, most of us were. There [...]

Bonita Springs Mailbox Theme Number Two
If it’s not fish, it’s parrots. In the last week I have found two parrot mailboxes. This parrot mailbox is in old Bonita Springs just off of Dean Street. I wish I had a bike. If I did I’d pedal my brains out all over those back streets.
There are tons [...]

Stuff a Big Check To The Red Cross in There!
This week I cut down Pennsylvania Avenue in Bonita Springs to get to Dolly’s on Bonita Beach Road. I call the area, as do many others, the State Streets because they’re all, uh, named after states. I was driving down Michigan which connects Pennsylvania to Bonita [...]

Dead Fish Mailbox | Old Bonita Springs
You were all holding your breath for the mailbox du jour, I just know it. Special thanx to a humongous issue with Quick Books and my extension looming in the not so distant future for getting me slightly derailed from the important things; blogging about mailboxes. I [...]

This week has been a little hectic. For all the whiners who think southwest Florida is doomed rest assured that Bonita Springs real estate is, in fact, selling. There’s been enough activity to get me buried a little behind. Yeah, I heard the recent foreclosure reports about Fort Myers and Cape Coral. [...]

Gull Haven and Bonita Farms
For some reason I just keep hearing, “Mommy, where are my Lincoln logs”? I’m just glad I found a mailbox that wasn’t a fish shape, again. Hey, I’m a little bored looking at only fish mailboxes, too.
This cute mailbox was found in Gull Haven or Bonita Farms in Bonita Springs, Florida. [...]

Friday is For Dolphis and Tall Ones
Recently, I joined Rotary International. I’m having a great time meeting so many new people and getting involved with the community. Why did I join Rotary? To serve the community and to get out and meet people. Real people, not just the one’s living in [...]

The Gorton’s Fisherman? | Bonita Springs, Florida
This one is coming from my Flickr.com archives. I took it a while back right after the bug incident on Old 41 while I was running. The experience was so terrible I ended up running on Bonita Beach to avoid the gnats on the next run. [...]

Yes, Mail Goes In The “Bacon End”
This little piggy went to Bonita Springs, not the market. I found this mailbox off of Windsor Road, just west of US 41. Know where Sneaky Pete’s is? It’s that street corner that you’ll turn.
I’ve been taking the long way almost anywhere I go just to [...]

Sudbury and Windsor Estates of Bonita Springs, Florida
Since I had gotten my free wind mitigation survey I stopped into my insurance agency Jones & Jones to deliver the report and hopefully receive a discount. I actually received a $120 discount on my insurance premiums, which I will get next year, too. Skip Mulch, my inspector [...]

Mermaid Mailbox of Bonita Springs
Hickory Blvd. on Bonita Beach is more than just prime Bonita Springs real estate, its mailbox gold. The variety of unusual mailboxes is unparallel anywhere in town. I do realize that you probably drive by a thousand mailboxes weekly and don’t give them a second thought. I needed a free/cheap hobby [...]

The Bonita Springs Mailbox of the Week
With any luck nobody held their breath for this. As expected another fish mailbox. Bonita Springs definitely has their share of mailboxes in the form of fishes, that’s for sure. I thought I’d get a golf theme mailbox in Bonita Golf & Country Club but [...]

No Fish Mailboxes to Fry in Spring Creek
A few days ago, after I checked on a listing I have in Eldorado Acres I cruised up Spring Creek to hunt for mail boxes on the Fish Streets. If you don’t know what the Fish Streets are: When you head up Coconut Road toward the [...]

Vanderbilt Mail Beacon
In the quest to capture Southwest Florida mailboxes I ran across this lighthouse mailbox. Hey, it’s Southwest Florida. The city of Bonita Springs is peppered with unique mailboxes, the likes of which are mostly nautical themed, fish themed, boat themed, lighthouse themed or ocean themed. I feel like [...]
