In El Jobean, Florida near the Myakka River is a National Register of Historic Places site known as the El Jobean Post Office. This building is now a small history museum of the area and a local cafe known as The Bean Depot. On the northwest entrance to the bar area is a Banyan tree that has devoured the bicycle of a departed patron. An engraved stone at the base of the tree reads "In Memory of Our Old Buddy Chuck 2008". His bicycle is still located at his favorite spot to park it and now has become a permanent fixture of The Bean Depot cafe and bar.
An adjacent sign says "Rust In Peace".
