FIRST TV PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE THIS DAY 1960

Posted on by

This year’s Presidential campaign is moving rapidly. Tuesday next the first Obama-Romney debate.

There is another first. The first TV Presidential debate. It took place in 1960. Kennedy and Nixon.

Nixon was favored. Kennedy won.

Nixon had the reputation of being a debater. He refused to wear make up. His sweating was obvious to all watching. Beads of perspiration running down his face and dropping from his chin. Kennedy on the other hand looked cool and collected. He was wearing makeup. He also appeared more comfortable with the TV set up.

I know. I remember. I watched the Kennedy-Nixon debate on television live the evening of September 26, 1960. I was a young lawyer. Graduated from law school three months earlier. Married 5 weeks earlier.

The Kennedy-Nixon race was one of the closest in American history. One tenth of a point separated the two. In the end, Kennedy had 49.7 per cent of the vote. Nixon 49.6.

Historians tell us the deciding factor in the election was the first debate between the two. I agree.

I was up and at ’em early yesterday. Did my blog. Then out for a walk.

Walked the Home Depot. Two times. Up and down the aisles. Air conditioned.

Michael was working. For several years, he was my bocce partner. Working now interferes with his bocce playing.

Michael was a bit gutty during his bocce days. Now he is thin and trim. He says working at Home Depot is responsible. He has to wallk up and down the aisles several times a day. He estimates he walks seven miles a day on the job. Without dieting or anything else, he took off a lot of weight. Something like 20-30 pounds. Maybe I should get a job at Home Depot!

We had a nice talk.

Then to Lisa’s. My coffee machine broke. One of those that you put the little cup in and voila…..warm coffee! I gave Lisa and Corey one for a Christmas gift. They did not like it. It was stored in a back room. I asked Lisa if I could have it. Of course. Picked it up. Works good!

Spent the afternoon and early evening working on friday’s internet show. The Key West Lou Legal Hour. Lots of interesting topics out there this week. Things are happening all over the world.

I will be talking about the present Greek demonstrations. It was reported 5,000 were protesting in front of Parliament yesterday. When I was in Greece, I joined two demonstrations. Same place. 2,000-3,000 demonstrators. I will be sharing my thoughts once again about the Greek economy which is the cause for the demonstrations.

China and Japan are pushing each other. In each other’s face. I have some thoughts regarding both sides.

Other topics include 5 Guys being voted the #1 hamburger place in the U.S. Mc Donald ended up near the bottom. Plus, driverless cars legal in California, a new preventive HIV pill, a jail segregation issue involving HIV prisoners, Texas saying ok to paddling high school students, and more.

Interesting topics. Join me. Ten am friday morning my time. World wide. www.konkbroadcasting.com.

I am into the third week of my diet. Not doing well. Cheated two times by drinking. Should have lost more weight in spite of the drinking. I am becoming discouraged. Not giving up…..yet!

Last week I mentioned the 14 war vessels from various Nations that were docked in Key West for several days. They are part of an international war pracitice operation.

Yesterday’s Key West Citizen carried a picture on the front page of one of the vessels shooting off a drone. Drones are an integral part of the pratice. Amazing how the means of war have changed over the years. And in recnent years, seem to change more rapidly.

Fantasy Fest is on the way. Starts in three weeks. For ten days. I can see it coming. Stores are opening up on a temporary basis to sell costumes for Fantasy Fest. There are already four.

Enjoy your day!

PAN AM WORLD AIRWAYS

Posted on by

I was up and at ’em early yesterday. Did my blog promptly. Then walked.

It was a big time walk. From Duval Square to Mallory Square and back. Criss crossed some of the side streets. The humidity was heavy. Too heavy. I had to take a break three times. Each time found a business with air conditioning with a place for me to sit for a few minutes.

Spent the afternoon researching and writing. Spent the evening working on friday’s internet show. I have two glass sliding doors in my kitchen. Open onto the deck and pool. The ocean about 50 feet away. There is a counter next to the sliding doors. It is where I work when I work inside.

Last night was exceptionally pleasant to work from the counter. The humidity was gone. There was a breeze coming in off the water.

I was researching a small South American air line that got started in 1920. I found it. But I found something even more important. A part of Key west history.

Pan Am World Airways. Commonly known as Pan Am.

Pan Am became one of the world’s largest international carriers. Then hard times hit. It filed for bankruptcy in 1991.

Pan Am was born in 1927 in Key West. Its first headquarters.

There was sentiment at the time that the United States needed a central American airline. To protect its economic Panama Canal interests. Ergo, Pan Am got started. The new airline provioded air mail and passenger service Key West to Havana, Cuba. The United States government provided the air mail contract thereby making the dream possible.

A problem developed. Pan Am had no aircraft landing rights in Cuba. It was obvious some heavy hitters were required to convice Cuba to grant the landing rights.

Threee of the primary founders of Pan Am were Majors at the time in the United States Army Air Force. Majors Hap Arnold, Carl Spaatz, and John Jouett. Arnold and Spaatz went on to become two of the most important U.S. generals of World War II.

Money and influence were required. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney and Averell Harriman were the backers. Harriman went on to become an important part of the administrations of several U.S. Presidents. He also served as Governor of New York.

The aforementioned individuals worked out the Cuban landing problem.

The new airline required a headquaters. In Key West. It was located in a white two story building on a corner on Whitehead Street. That building today is the home of the famous Kelly’s Restaurant.

Pan Am began business with one airlplane. An eight seater.

Some 25 odd years ago, Kelly Mc Gillis and Fred Tilman, then married, opened Kelly’s Restaurant in the former Pan Am headquarters. The restaurant is still there today doing a flourishing business.

Kelly Mc Gillis was of movie fame. Movies like Top gun, Witness, and The Accused.

I knew Kelly and Fred back when. Primarily from social gatherings. After Kelly and Fred divorced, Fred kept the restaurant. He also became my neighbior in Key Haven. Lisa and Fred are friends. Fred catered Lisa’s wedding. Did a great job!

That other airline I was searching for turned out to be a German airline out of Columbia which started in 1920. The German airline and the Panama Canal were the influences which gave birth to Pan Am.

Such is the story of Pan Am and Key West. Interesting.

Enjoy your day!

SAILORS IN PORT HELP NON PROFITS

Posted on by

Yesterday was a pleasant Sunday. Nothing unusual. Quiet. As it should be.

Lisa and Corey came over late morning with the grandkids to swim. Robert and Ally are rapidly becoming more proficient. Fish is their middle name. They are in an advanced swim class at the present time two days a week. The classes are held at the local community college.

Hung around the house in the afternoon. Watched pro football and golf. Both exciting yesterday.

I desired a prime rib. The Atkins Diet. Went to Outback for it. Told the waitress bring me only the prime rib and au jus. Nothing else. Devoured the large cut. Perfect!

Ran into Keith and Jen at Outback. They had just returned from a weekend at the Casino in the Fort Lauderdale area. It was Keith’s 35th birthday.

They both expressed disappointment with the Casino. Not what they expected. Few gaming tables. Many slot machines.

After dinner, I walked over to Publix. I run out of food rapidly on the diet. And I buy only for the diet!

Watched the Emmys later from the comfort of my bed. I was disappointed. A relatively poor show. Staid. Boring. The lines appeared to be prepared. Perhaps they should be. However, it should not be obvious.

An interesting editorial in the Sunday edition of The Key West Citizen. About the Navy’s history with Key West. Goes way back and run deeps.

The editorial spelled out some non naval activities the war ships participated in while docked at Key West.

There were 14 war vessels from various nations in Key West for several days last week. Preparatory to a multi nation training exercise in the Caribbean.

Sailors from the ships volunteered many hours of service to Key West charities. The local non profits benefited from their painting, power cleaning, and other work activities.

Warriors. Young ones. Ready to help in more than one way.

Enjoy your day!

A NEW DAY! FEEL GREAT!

Posted on by

I am alive and well this morning!

Full of energy and exuberance!

Hit the bed mid afternoon yesterday and stayed there till this morning. Slept off and on into the evening and watched TV. Then slept soundly from 11 to 5.

Yesterday’s blog provided the details of my energy downfall. The blog also included the little I did yesterday till mid afternoon when yesterday’s blog was finally published..

I have told you what I did from 3 on. There is nothing left for me to relate.

However, more is expected from me and I want to provide more. So…..join me in taking a brief walk back in history regarding this day, September 23.

1779. John Paul Jones uttered the memorable words “I have not yet begun to fight.” The time the Revolution. Jones was Captain of the Bonhomme Richard which was engaged in a sea battle with the British HMS Serepis. Jones and the new USA won.

1938. Neville Chamberlain flew to Munich for that fateful meeting with Hitler. When he returned, he flashed the document Hitler had signed for the world to see. At the same time, Chamberlain announced, “Peace in our time!” He got conned.

1942. Auschwitz begins experimental gassing executions. The event is set forth as a reminder. Lest we forget.

1952. Rocky Marciano knocked out Jersey Joe Wolcott in round 13 to become heavy weight champion of the world.

Enjoy your Sunday!

TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big night last night!

I stayed up late. Past midnight. Drank a bit too much. Never felt the drinks. However, I am a zombie today. Which accounts for why this blog is being written so late.

I am permitting myself one night a week to drink on the diet.

My internet show yesterday was a pleasure to do. Hopefully, it was an equal pleasure for all who watched.

Post show comments indicated the most well received topic to have been the Harry Truman story. The one where his campaign train was halted between stops and the conductor told Truman he could go no futher till the train bill was paid. An insult to the President. His campaign was cash short. He had to take up a collection from people on the train before the conductor would permit the train to proceed.

A Republican owned the railroad!

Part of the afternoon was spent writing next week’s KONK Life column. I developed one of the topics I spoke of on the show. The one involving a Rhode Island school district and gender discrimination. The ACLU was involved. The ACLU’s arguments consisted of such things as school girls should no longer be treated as if it was thought they wished to be Cinderellas, and the days of Ozzie and Harriet were over.

I had to FAX 16 pages. Went to Office Max. Long distance. $2 a page! Cost me $32 plus tax for a total of $36. Wow!

My long evening last night started with the Chart Room.

Emily back from her two week vacation. It was a pleasure to see her again. I love her wit and charm! I love her!

Met with my new friends Len and Heidi Bloom for drinks. Both relatively new to me personally. However, Len has been a blog fan for quite a while. They are serously considering resettling in Key West. They owned a Mexican restaurant back in Wausau. Just sold it.

Sean and Katherine showed up. Introduced them to Len and Heidi.

Catain Peter was holding court at the other end of the bar. He had a new cell phone. May be his first. Everyone was trying to help him understand it.

Moved over to the Wine Galley. Larry Smith playing. Lu Kramer there. I joined Lu and her friends. Enjoyed the company very much.

Met John DeSantis for the first time. John is the #1 reporter for the Key West Citizen. Love his writings. I am not sure whether it is his style or the Key West material. Whatever, he writes well.

Turns out John is also a crooner. What a voice! Sang all night. A double bonus. Larry and John!

On the way to my car, I had to pass the outside bar. Maurice and Dottie sitting there. Joanie bartending. I stopped for a while. Maurice is a retired orthodontist.

Dottie was intertested in my Greek trip. She told me something I never knew. Joanie is an actress. Has appeared in many performances at the Red Barn. One role she played two times, ten years apart. It was a take on the movie where a London house wife goes off to Greece to vacation, falls in love with the place, and decides to stay. She leaves her husband of many years back in London. The name of the movie escapes me at the moment.

Stopped at Don’s Place on the way home. Kurt bartending. Had one drink and chatted with Kurt. Kurt is like going through a life change. He is into guitar playing. When not bartending, he is down town playing with the musicians.

I was in bed after midnight. Woke at 7. Had to hustle. Lisa had me babysitting at 8. Robert and Ally took me to I HOP for breakfast.

Later this morning I had a manicure appointment. Tell you how tired I was. I dozed off while Tammy was giving me the manicure. The tired is really a hangover.

I had plans for tonight. Cancelled them. After I complete this blog, I am going to bed till tomorrow morning.

My friend Cheryl Keast from the Chicago area wrote. Wake up! was her comment. Claims her day cannot start till she reads the blog. I was screwing up her day! Love her!

Enjoy whatever is left of this day!

WHAT A BOCCE NIGHT!

Posted on by

There are times when you can do no wrong. Last night was such a time for my bocce team. We won all three games. Could have beat any one!

We played a very good team. Excellent players. They hung in there. But when you are flawless, no one can can touch you.

Each game started close. Then we would break out and end up beating them decisively.

Jimmy of Jimmy and Joanie fame captained the opposing team. Bocce captains play as well. Last night for whatever reason, Jimmy opted not to play. He decided to manage, as he put it. Jimmy, you were a disaster as a manager. Go back to playing. Good players do not sit on the bench.

Got a haircut first thing in the morning. Told Lori she was fired from trimming my beard. I had purchased the equipment and was doing it myself. She thought I was doing a good job. Mine was the first beard she had ever trimmed.

Then to the Plantation Coffee House. No Diana. A Loretta. Turns out Loretta is Diane’s sister. Diane is in Yuma, Arizona with girl friends on a holiday. Loretta was filling in for her.

Show time this morning! The Key West Lou Legal Hour! On the internet. Ten am my time. Broadcast world wide. www.konkbroadcasting.com.

In addition to other topics already shared with you yesterday, I have discovered an interesting Harry Truman story. You will also hear about a $7.2 million verdict for “popcorn lung” caused by a chemical in artificial butter, and Florida having fallen victim to the West Nile Virus. Ten cases, with one dead.

Join me, if you can. I would enjoy sharing my hour with you.

Met Len Bloom last night. From Wausau, Wisconsin. A retired restauranteur, he is in Key West on vacation. He has been vacationing here one week a year for years. He sought me out at bocce. Len is a loyal blog fan.

Len is niow retired. He sold his restaurant. Plans on relocating to Key West. Soon.

Len, you will be a welcome addition!

Have to hustle. Must get showered, etc. and get to the studio on time.

Enjoy your day!

BOULEVARD CONSTRUCTION

Posted on by

I begin with the Chicago teacher strike this morning.

I suggested yesterday that everyone be aware of the legal distinction between suspended and ended. Since the union had merely suspended the strike, I advised the lawsuit by the City would remain alive. At immediate issue was yesterday’s hearing. Emanuel had brought a lawsuit against the uniion to have the strike declared illegal. A hearing was scheduled for yesterday.

My question was would happen to the hearing and lawsuit in view of the suspended outcome.

My answer was to the effect that the lawsuit would remain alive and the hearing be placed in a position to be rescheduled. I was correct. The hearing was cancelled, the City’s Complaint left pending. Which means the lawsuit is alive and upon a brief notice, such as three days, the hearing can be rescheduled. It is the court’s hammer over the union’s head. Approve the contract in a timely fashion or the lawsuit will proceed in a legal fashion.

I had lamb chops for lunch. Purchased from Publix a couple of days ago. Four rib chops. $15 a pound. I had a pound. I prepared the lamb chops.

In Armogos, I had lamb chops almost every evening. Thinner than those I ate yesterday. Ten served with every order. Absolutely delicious! Much better than the Publix ones. The cost was 8 euros/$10. Cooked for me, not by me. More and better chops than at Publix at a cheaper price.

What a difference 5,000 miles makes!

Spent my afternoon researching and writing.

Sloan arrived a bit after 5. We spent a couple of hours working the the photo arrangement. What a job!

Stopped at Don’s Place after the Sloan visit. Chatted quite a while with Don at the bar.

A couple came in as I was leaving. Friends of Don. William and Missa. Vacationing in Key West from Guyana.

Guyana originally was British Guiana. Gained independence and became Guyana. I am spelling the two names correctly. Guyana is located on the northern shore of South America. A tiny nation.

William is a golfer. Played with Don and the group yesterday morning. He won $6.

Wiklliam is a 3 handicap. I made him aware I was a 35. I told him to give me 2 strokes a hole and I would play him for money. He said ok. Such bravado on my part. He would whip my ass! Besides being a poor golfer, I have not played in over a year.

William and Missa appeared to be nice people. Hope I run into them again.

Dined alone later at Outback. Wanted a prime rib. No prime rib. Had a rib eye steak instead. I am being true to the Atkins diet.

The Boulevard construction is a pain. State doing the job. Two years construction contemplated.

The State has been at it over a month now. A big job. Not that many workers. I do not understand what is going on. A multimillion dollar job and only a handful of people working at it each day. Progress is at a snail’s pace.

My other criticism is why the job is not being run 24 hours a day. At nightime with lights.

Several years ago, US 1 was under major constructuon from the Boulevard north. Twenty four hours a day. Lights at night.

I am running late. As usual. I have a haircut appointment with Lori at 10. Have to hustle.

Enjoy your day!

SUSPENDED…..BEWARE

Posted on by

Yesterday was an exceptional one weatherwise. Perfect weather. I spent the entire day outside on the deck.

Sat under the tiki hut. In a bathing suit. Computer in front of me. Researched and wrote all day. Part of the time was spent working on friday’s internet show. Periodically the heat would get to me. I would walk into the pool and spend ten minutes floating around. I enjoy placing a noodle under my arms and letting the water take me.

Topics already prepared for friday discussion include the Wisconsin Judge who struck down the State’s anti labor law, a Rhode Island distorted decision regarding gender discrimination, an example of lightning striking twice, Obama and Romney shortcomings re mortgage foreclosures and the housing market, the Chicago teacher strike, Chicago airport using goats to trim grass, man’s best friend, Bismarch, Pope John Paul I, the Vatican Bank, the Judiciary Act of 1789, some Harry Truman moments, and more.

Join me, if you can. Ten in the morning my time. Every friday. World wide. www.konkbroadcasting.com.

My attorney cynicism is upon me. It concerns the Chicago teacher strike.

Yesterday the teachers announced the strike was “suspended.” Suspended does not mean over in legal vernacular. It is a pause, not an ending.

The media and Mayor Emanuel seem to view it as an end. The teachers however say they have to look at the whole agreement in writing before approving it. In the meantime, they will return to work.

What the teachers are saying in reality from my perspective is that we will work, but walk again if we do not like the printed material. Ballsy. Not proper in a matter of this nature, however.

I suspect the teachers suspended the strike to avoid the court proceeding today. The judge is not stupid. I doubt he will dismiss the case. More likely, he will adjourn the matter to a subsequent date. This keeps the pressure on the teachers not to play games down the road. Or, if he is really astute, he will hear arguments today under the theory that until the teachers say the strike is over as opposed to suspended the strike is still on.

Interesting.

Let’s see if I calling this one correctly.

I generally am in support of teachers. I think they are being screwed in other states. However with the Chicago strike, I believe the teachers are overplaying their hand and are wrong. It sticks in my craw that Chicgo teachers start some where in the $40,000 a year bracket. Their average/mean salary is $76,000 a year. One of the highest in the Nation. And…..only 60 percent of Chicago students graduate! The statistic does not seem a fair return for the dollars paid.

Enjoy your day!

BILL CALLI DIES

Posted on by

A good person has passed on.

William S. Calli Sr. Better known as Bill Calli.

Bill was a fellow Utican and attorney. 87 at the time of his passing yesterday. An automobile accident. A distinguished attorney and public servant. He spent many years as a member of the New York State Assembly. He finished his public career as a member of the New York State Senate.

We were friends. Not drinking buddies. Professionally and a bit more.

If there was one word to describe Bill, he was a gentleman.

I interviewed for employment with his law firm when I graduated. It was Bill and his father Rocco heading the firm. Several attorneys were associated with them. I had three separate interviews. I did not make it. I was not hired. I was very disappointed at the time. We used to laugh about it in later years when my practice blossomed. I used to remind Bill he would be sharing in my financial success had he and his Dad hired me back when. Not that he had any need for my earnings. He was extremely successful in his own right.

When Bill arrived at the pearly gates yeserday, if there was any hesitancy as to his admission, I am sure he calmly talked his way in.

May he rest in peace.

The Navy is in town. Ships of several nations. Something like 14 destroyers and amphibious assault ships. All here for a joint Caribbean training excercise. Locals who were in Key West during the Cuban missle crisis in the early 1960s were telling me last night this is the largest assemblage of war vessels since that time.

I started with the Chart Room last night. Mary bartending. Poor Mary is working her butt off. She is covering for Emily who is on a two week vacation. Che there also.

Che and I spent much time together last night. I sometimes introduce Che to people as a participant in the Cuban revolution. Actually, a joke. Che is a Jewish mercant from New York City transplanted many years ago to Key West.

There was a gentleman named Ron sitting next to us. From Atlanta. Here with his new bride of one week. She was not with him. Still in their room. Ron was an interesting and intelligent fellow. The three of us discussed many things. Like religion, Catholicism and politics. A good talk.

There is a new bar in town. On Duval. Opened last Wednesday. The Ugly Coyote. I wanted to see it. Che joined me.

I was not impressed. Nor was Che. Actually, I was depressed. The bar gave me that feeling.

It is an old time salon. The ladies working there get up on the bar and talk, sing and dance. All in tight jeans. Not all good bodies, however. Young. Very young. Early 20s at best. Sad appearing. Tired faces. I doubt they were locals. Appeared imported.

The bar had a good crowd for a Monday night at eight. This is a man’s place. There were only two female guests. The guys were mostly young. A strange group. We needed another bar stool. There were several available. One had a customer’s foot on it. Another an arm. I asked if the stools were in use, could I have them? All I got was a blank look in response. No words.

When Che and I were finally seated, we figured it out. All the young fellows had crew cuts, short cropped hair. They were part of the navys of several nations in Key West this week for joint maneuvers. When I asked for the stools, they did not know what I was saying!

One of the bouncers was named Lou. He seemed to be the boss. He came over to talk with us and invited us to return.

Lou sws a nice guy. Looked tough, however. Big and burly with a gut.

The place obviously is not for the older generation. Che and I were the only ones over 40. Maybe 30.

I had the feeling when I walked in that I could get rolled. The place was tough appearing. Rolled I was not and would not be. However, I share my initial impression with you.

Will Ugly Coyote make it in Key West? I woukd like to be favorable. I cannot. It does not fit into the Key West atmosphere. We like young good looking women who fit into the Key West life style. The bar they work at must also have the Key West flavor. Remember, Hooters did not make it in Key West.

I suspect Coyote Ugly’s rent has to be $35,000 a month. That is the tab in that section of Duval. A big monthly bill to pay!

I doubt Coyote Ugly will be here next year at this time. It may even be gone by year end.

I forgot to mention. Coyote Ugly is a chain. They have been in business for many years. Hooters was a chain also in business for many years.

I hope I am wrong. I wish Coyote Ugly good luck.

Stopped at Don’s Place on the way home. Had my final diet coke of the evening. Chatted a bit with Billy and left.

I would be remiss if I did not mention Romney. He cannot keep his foot out of his mouth!

Enjoy your day!

INTERESTING SUNDAY

Posted on by

From my perspective, Sunday was quiet. However so many things happened!

First, Meet the Press and The Chris Matthews Show. Between what is going on world wide and the Chicago teacher strike, these TV talk shows were the best place to be in the morning.

There appears to be a brief lull in the embassy crisis. Most experts believe it will reoccur and soon. Afghanistan’s involvement in the past 48 hours is sad, but was to be expected. We have 66,000 troops there. We are training the police and military to protect their own country. We have given the Afghans billions of dollars.

What happens? Either a police officer or soldier we have been training turns his gun on American soldiers and kills four of them.

Obama has a lot to deal with.

The Chicago teachers continue to enjoy their time in the sun. In the meantimne, the kids are still not in school. For shame!

Illinois law permits school teachers to strike. The law spells out the reasons why they may strike. Emanuel says the reasons the teachers are still out does not fall within the legal guide lines. He goes to court today to force the teachers back into the class room.

I wrote a bit.

Then watched some pro football. From the comfort of my bed. Second Sunday in a row I have not been to Don’s Place. Bad!

Dinner was special last night. Ate at the Yacht club. My guest was Lu Kramer.

An interesting woman. A terrific business background.

She spent several years as a Regional CFO for CIGNA Insurance. Then owned the Loreli in Islamorada. Her next business venture was owning the Hetrz franchise here in Key West. Her present ventures are two specialty stores in Clinton Square Mall.

An industrious lady! An intelligent woman ! I enjoyed her company immensely.

The reason I was at the Yacht Club was that it was prime rib night. I am on the Atkins diet. Low carb, high protein. Just the meal for me.

The assistant chef slicing the prime rib was a young man. Tall and lanky. Appeared not to have a pound of fat on him. I had him cut me an extra slice. I explained to him I was on the Atkins diet.

He broke into a smile when I mentioned the diet and said he had lost 60 pounds on it. My hero!

This morning is the end of my first week on the diet. Lost 5 pounds. I am not happy. I expected 8 the first week and then settle into 3 pounds a week. I have done this diet before.

I cheated last night. Had two gins. It was time.

The Huntington Post recently published an interesting article on Key West. The title referred to the 10 best kept secrets in Key West. Find and read! It was right on!

Enjoy your day!
