This Old Mailbox This two dollar mailbox was found on Horne Avenue in Olde Bonita Springs.  I wonder where it is now… Mailboxes are now like magnets to me. I can spot a good one a mile away.  Sometimes it’s not a mile a way, it’s just next door.  Last weekend I stopped by one [...]

A Back in the Day Mailbox & Post Office Did you know that the halls and walls of the Liles Hotel at Riverside Park are lined with old photos of Bonita Springs, Florida. I mean way old photos. The kind of photos you see in those books and think to yourself, boy, how did they [...]

Not Bonita Springs So I got away for the holidays last week and ended up being sick the majority of the time.  Boo.  I was in Northern Arizona and found this when I got lost and had to turn around in an auto parts store parking lot. Onward and forward back to Bonita Springs and [...]

East Bonita Springs Invasion I’ve snapped so many pictures of fun mailboxes in Bonita Springs that I kind of forgot where I took this one.  I know it was off of East Terry Street on the right hand side, I think it was Allen Street but it could have been Jarvis Street. At any rate, [...]

J Christmas Dolphin at the Beach I’m digging his buddies by his feet, the most.  This Christmas mailbox is just a little bit north of Doc’s Beachhouse beside on of the beach accesses.  The back of the house is decorated with cute little bows you can see here: Bonita Beach Home

Santa Claus is Diggin’ The Mailbox Series Last week I took my fat, blind, old LBD for a walk and passed this home in Brendan Cove.  Yes, I carry a camera with me everywhere.  It’s the second home on the left through the gates on Driftwood Drive. There is a really good chance that this [...]

What Does The Mail Carrier Think? So what did the mail carrier think the first time he pulled up to this mailbox covered with sharks eating bloody Barbies?  It may have not phased him…or her.  The whole street has funny mailboxes.  If you’re looking for the land of fun mailboxes, they’re located in Bonita Farms [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
