Came across this article today (despite it being from 10 years ago) and really enjoyed it. I did not know the manatee mailbox craze in Florida was started by a young Korean immigrant in the Upper Keys! Also, I find it rather sad and hilarious at the same time what happened to Marguerite the Manatee Mailbox...

Seasonal decorations on the local manatees are a must...



Manatee Elvis must have taken some doing to costume!
A conch shell for the Conch Republic

The all-important stilt house to prevent flooding (complete with mini cars and people underneath)


God love the ever-present Keys plastic pink flamingo...






I have seriously considered getting a job with the nearly-defunct USPS, simply to get to look at these all day!
