What Happened to The Mailboxes? They’ll be back.  I just found this and thought it was funny enough to bump the mailboxes for a week.  It’s located in the Lakes of Estero.  The Lakes of Estero is a single family home community on River Ranch Road across the street from Estero High School.  I was [...]

The Gorton’s Fisherman Yes, it’s true, the Gorton’s Fisherman lives on Hickory Blvd. on Bonita Beach.  He’s a couple of doors down from the Mermaid Mailbox.  It’s been a spell since I’ve taken this photo.  It’s been a while since I’ve even been able to post something on the blog.  I’ve been a hostage. The [...]

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 [...]

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.  [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 think [...]

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. Sure the news [...]

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 [...]

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 my computer. A [...]

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. That’s when [...]

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 see [...]

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 [...]
