Unseen by most,because of its remote location within the Myakka State Park forest. Originally, in the early 1900s it was the home of El Jobean's only post offices/ general store by a visionary named, Joel Bean. Today the historical property remains intact as a restaurant and lounge for local musicians. Ironically the history of Joel Bean can be best defined in verse 9 of a song titled The Ballads of El Jobean. "But there is only one here who has visions Of a city not so mean That shall rise above the present To dream of El Jobean" Should you visit this property you will find yourself surrounded by local and ageless musicians playing songs like that one. Along with a handful of other travelers and visionaries who have answered the calling to the sound of old El Jobean.

Hi again. I apologize for the delay in posting reviews here yet it has been busy with all the…read moretraveling that I have been doing. Not too long ago I had the utmost pleasure of visiting the Florida Department of Motor and Highway Safety Office for Charlotte County out of Punta Gorda, Florida. And WOW! Soooo amazing! Truly unbelievable. And, after my first experience, I had to go back; despite it being a bit out of the way. Let me try to synopsize, as best as my recollection permits, all the things I got done there in VERY LITTLE TIME. I think I will have to bullet my commentaries as I have many reviews to write from my trip through Punta Gorda and the surrounding areas including Lee and Sarasota Counties. Real quickly, before I begin, it is OBVIOUS that whomever the Governor is these days in Florida, she/he is doing a GREAT job. Alas, that person's influence may not be as well represented in other Counties....yet, there is always tomorrow to see Government working as efficiently as portrayed in South West Florida. Okay, without belaboring my positive commentaries, here we go; vis-a-vis Charlotte County. I promise to address Lee and Sarasota Counties in subsequent posts. Okay....here we go, for the Tax Assessor's Office, which, unbeknownst to me oversees (I believe, the Department of Motor Vehicles). In my notes below I will also address issues that supplement the actual course of Official Protocols; specifically, the labor employed and the edifices themselves. Okay....lol....without further ado: * The place is SPOTLESS. I am used to picking up trash and garbage yet, here, none was found. I am not sure how they hire so many people to clean things up; but they do. Probably immigrants since they are the backbone of our 3,008 Counties, though I also saw some old ugly white dudes picking up trash as well. Perhaps everyone pulls their share. * The building had AIR CONDITIONING! They spare NO expense to provide services to their community. They also, with no offense, spoke English. Something that I am not used to in Florida. Very intelligent folks as well and I would not be surprised if they speak multiple languages to facilitate the transaction that the residents in their community need. * I got a PRINTOUT of all the vehicles that I had Registered in the State of Florida. The 'transcript' listed Vehicle Make, Vehicle Model, VIN Number, and a multitude of other things which I did not have time to note. I was in a rush. I very quickly filled out some Affidavits regarding vehicles that I was no longer in possession of and Officially 'Surrendered' my plates; thereby eliminating any potential liability issues that might come back to haunt me should those vehicles or plates be involved in any kind of undesired activity. I think I filled out four or five Affidavids....and, the good news is, that I was not charged A DIME for doing so. Nothing. Not quite sure how the County manages to do that considering the very little folks pay in both Sales Tax and Property Tax. Talk about efficient Governing Reagan style. Yum. * I was able to take care of a Motorized Vehicle which had been causing me some issues. I would rather not get into any specific details as, well, The Dealer who sold me the vehicle may be involved in some criminal activity; so, I will not say more. Yet, they handled it. Professionally and expediently. In addition, every 'Agent' or 'Representative' were SO forthcoming with such great answers to questions that have perplexed me for decades. I would not be surprised if The Staff goes through a 6-12 month training period. * I was able to get a new Real Identification Card which is SO beneficial as I have had at least FOUR instances of Identity Theft since 2016. I do not mean or intend to disparage other Counties that I have traversed since my arrival in South Florida in 1997, yet, these folks, are really, the EPIDOMY of how Government can protect their residents (and passers-by like me) (not sure if I spelled EPIDOMY correctly; I am sure that I will be notified if I have not). * Such valuable information pertaining to Electronic Bicycles, Mopeds, Motorcycles, Trailers, Mobile Homes, etc. Next time I go (and I may go out of my way to once again traverse that SPLENDIDLY BEAUTIFUL County), I may inquire about Vessel Registration so that I can once again safely and appropriately travel the Seas (and Gulf I guess). * Not sure how The County did it, yet they partnered with Publix Supermarkets (which is the largest food distribution company in Florida - - and which DONATES millions of their $$'s to provide nutritional foods to those in needs), to enable folks to take care of some of their business from within Publix Supermarkets! How great and convenient is that?? Imagine getting new Tag Authorizations right from the Kiosk as one maneuvers through the splendidly wide aisles filled with food stuffs (granted, perhaps not the CHEAPEST items....yet, that is a review for another day). I have more....yet no more space.
