If you take Card Sound Road from Florida City to Key Largo you pass a number of people fishing, a cement company and Alabama Jacks. That’s about it. Alabama Jacks is a bar/restaurant with good food, live music and, I learned, is biker-friendly. It is also essentially a dock overlooking […]
I am usually somewhere at the back of the line when it comes to things like adopting new technology, except for my new cell phone – the HTC Hero – which rocks. I have even personalized it with a picture of Key West Bight as my background. I got on […]
The Key West Woman’s Club is a women-only organization that raises money for charitable organizations. Each year the members decorate the building that houses the club, going so far as to decorate teddy bears that are then given to charity. Then they open the house to the public for a holiday […]
Sunday nights tend to revolve around longing for more weekend, eating large bowls of pasta with family and longing for more weekend (yes, it happens so often that it needed to be listed twice) . Sunday evening at The Gardens Hotel in Key West, however, is a calm, fun, relaxing event […]

It was a chilly Saturday evening that we decided to dine at Cafe Solé, located at 1029 Southard Street in Key West. Fortunately they are well prepared with heaters, so it was quite comfortable in the garden. You realize, though, that “chilly” to this native Floridian means anywhere from 68 […]
It is 10 AM on Saturday morning. Our house guest is getting ready to leave, but we are all going to go out for breakfast first. I know it seems absurd, but somehow I thought that going to Blue Heaven would be a good idea. Perhaps we would get lucky […]
If you like hot sauce, playing really mean jokes on your friends back home or just some fun little gifts, you must go to Peppers next time you are in Key West. I live on the island 3 days a week and go there more than is probably normal. After […]
