The latest and greatest photos of Coconut Point Mall.  Random Friday evening visit.  I thought I'd snap some photos on the way to see the latest comedy Blades of Glory starring Jon Heder and Will Farrel.  Sophomoric humor, at best, LOVED IT!  The mall is buzzing with activity.  Where do all of these people live?  I've been here over 20 years and can barely imagine where they all live.   My daughter and I visited Doc Greens for dinner.  It was our first visit to a Doc Greens, ever.  It was great - I recommend it highly!  Take a look at the menu here: www.docgreens.com  It is on the side of the mall across the parking lot from Best Buy.  For Doc Greens corporate - they're doing a great job there!  I'll be back and I'll bring customers and friends. 04/20/2007

Click here to Search Estero Homes  History of Estero, Fort Myers, Florida Estero's exciting history is made up of Native Americans, Spanish Explorers, pirates and an interesting religious sect known as the Koreshans. The land now called Estero was originally home to the Caloosa Indians, who inhabited many of the islands and estuaries along the west coast of Florida. These peaceful Native Americans farmed and fished the fresh water tributaries. Spanish explorers named the region Estero, the Spanish word for estuary.  Ponce de Leon may have come to Estero when he explored areas along Southwest Florida's Gulf coast in 1513 & 1521. DeSoto may also have sailed the waters around Estero in 1513.  During the last half of the 1700s, the area was a base of operations for bands of pirates raiding ... 03/09/2007
