I hope you enjoy a little taste of Old Town Key West. Peal is the only one I know in the video.

Pretty sweet, Trop.
I would love nothing better than to start my own charter company and tool around the Keys. "F" everything else. :) -
I haven't seen Pearl in a long time. I hope she is OK. She almost got carried away by a hawk at the beach years ago.In the fast laneComment

Oh, not in the video but mentioned in the song is Captain Outrageous. I knew him, as almost everybody did, or at least of him. Interesting guy. I understand he use to be an attorney. Was in Key West just a few years before he died. Painted a lot of Key West conch bikes and became famous. We have many who shed ties for different way of life. We don't ask why they decided to come here. I haven't been by the courthouse so I haven't seen a tie lately.
The Conch Shop. Man I need to go by there and see if they are open. They are occasionally. Got to get me a two fried pork chop sandwich with pepper on the bread. The Conch Shop is on the main street in the Village. I use to live a half block off of it. The little band in the opening of the video goes down that Street a lot. Doesn't really need to be a special occasion. They must not need a parade permit. It must of been a special occasion in the video. They are really decked out. Speaking of parades, we have many. Sometimes even for funerals.
I don't really understand Cuban cigars. We have vendors who sell cigars, but I think they roll them here. One huge (for Key West) building which was remodeled a few years ago for government office was a cigar manufacturer years ago. I met a guy once who said he was selling real Cuban cigars. Cost a lot. Smuggling dope and Cubans is probably more popular. They tried to get me on a jury on a case about smuggling Cubans. I got off. I just don't understand why you have to go back if you get picked up a few feet from shore but can stay if you hit sand (or dirt) since we don't have much sand. That case also had something to do with major league baseball, the Yankees I think. Must of been trying to get a poor baseball player to have his dreams. The prosecutor wouldn't have liked me.
Check back later. I'll look at the video again sometime and go off again.In the fast laneComment

Don't woory about the cuban cigs. If you smoke them you are wreaking the ag culture of a communist country..slowly,very slowly. As an aside, they are not what they used to be anyway.Comment

To be law abiding, I smoked a Cuban in Windsor, Ontario, south of Detroit.
I smoked it all in Canada to be straight and narrow.
A Dominican is just as good.Comment

The Chicken Store. It closed. I'm not for sure how they made money to stay open as long as they did. Our chickens are fine however. The City hasn't tried thinning them out for a few years. When they do, they are asking for a lot of trouble! The chicken catcher would have to duck from eggs being thrown at him. Of course the Scrub Club is still in business. I do know a former manager of the Scrub Club. I think he's on the gay side so he didn't take full advantage of his position. He now works at our dirty book store which is probably better suited for him. The lighthouse is far from water. A few people think that's because of landfill, which is not true. It was moved to it's present location on Whitehead Street. The street singer in a flag shirt is still in his favorite location on Duval. However, he now must pay a yearly fee to the City for a street performer license or something like that.In the fast laneComment

The wife and I had a great time at Key West each time we were there. Watching the sunset over the harbor was by far my favorite activity.Originally posted by tropicalshox View PostWent downtown last night to see Moneyball. It was good but outdone by Fantasy Fest.
