Title: Greetings From Key West
Post by: InformationGeek on November 23, 2009, 11:49:20 AM
Hey guys!  I'm on vacation at Key West for the week and it certianly nice down here.  The high is in the 80s and the low is in the 70s.  The beach is only across the street and there is no cloud in sight.  It's relaxful.  Also, I have a lot to report on what I've been seeing so far:

Take it from me if you haven't been here yet, this place contains no censorship. On the main street (Where Sloppy Joe's and the Ghost Tours are) there is an adult entertainment resturant, a building that allow people to sunbath nude I believe, and plenty of places that sell T-Shirts that say and shows things like, "I'm with the F.B.I., Female Body Inspectors", shirts that give people the finger, ones that drop the F-Bomb more than once, and on with a stick figure girl sucking one a male stick figure that says, "Be careful of choking!" Yep, this city has no censorship.

This place is also filled to the brim with people of all different nationalites here on vacation, like myself. I've seen and heard people speak Japanese, Chinese, Italian, French (I think, they were taking too quickly for me to make anything out), Spanish, German, and plenty more. It was like where the entire world met to have a vacation.

Back on the city itself, there plenty things that are crazy and wouldn't happen in my homestate of Wisconsin. I mention the Adult Entertainment Resturant, interestingly enough it is on the same street as two churches. Kind of weird huh? While eating at Sloppy Joe's, I saw birds stroll on in and eat scraps of food off the ground. Back on the streets, there was a guy playing guitar that had a dog that sang along and across the street from that was guy selling things made out of palm leaves. Yeah, this would never happen where I live.

I stopped that Hard Rock Cafe, watched a few music videos they had playing, look at some guitars that came from bands like the Beatles, Sex Pistols, Clash, and I think Jimmi Hendrix. It was a highlight of my trip, I love Hard Rock Cafe. Later that day, I went down to the Sunset Celebration and saw a lot of interesting things. Two guitars were playing the guitars, a couple was playing the Saints go matching in while juggling razor sharp knives while doing a balancing act, a mime, a clown, and two dog show acts. It sure was different.

On my last note of my trip which is still going on, I just had to mention what I saw a bit ago. I was out on the beach under an umbrella taking a rest. My parents were out on a walk (I already did one previously and I didn't want to do one again). I sat in a lawn chair, doing some Sudoku since I enjoy it, and I just happen to look ito the sea. I saw two guys and two girls (I say in there early 20s at best) playing in the water having a good time. I looked back to my book for a second and then looked back at the four of them because I thought I saw something suspcious. I couldn't believe, but both girls where topless. Now, this isn't a clothing optional beach mind you so I was pretty surprised. I thought I was seeing things so I looked away from a while, but it was true. As soon as they were back on the beach, I could obviously tell both girls were for sure topless. Ummm.... I don't know what to say or what to think at this point.

So, that's my experience so far.  If you guys or girls have been down here, what do you have to say about the place?

I was there about three years ago during Fantasy week and there were a lot of folks running around wearing spray painted tops, including a few who should have kept something on. 

We were only there about 6 hours, just enough to see some sights and take our picture a mile zero.

I believe the steakhouse is still there.  I haven't seen it personally, but I think I saw a commercial for it.

Truer words were never spoken. You'll say the same thing, when you visit a nudist beach. Of course, not that I've ever been to a nudist  beach, but I've heard most nudists look like average people on the street. Of course, with fewer clothes on.

Enjoy your stay there, InfoG. I was there a number of years ago. My cruise ship out of Port Canaveral stopped there on the way to the Caribbean. Of course, I was there for somewhat less than 24 hours, so I didn't see that much, but I did pick up some nice cigars, while I was there.

A couple of things about Key West. Like most islanders, who live on their island year round, around the world, they are a people unto themselves. Thus they are not Floridians or Key Westians, but Conchs.

And watch for the five-toe cats on the island. They are, I believe, the original descendants of a cat once owned by Hemingway, whose house you can visit while there.

I'm already back, but it was a fun and wet (It rained 3 inches in one night) vacation.  My mom loves those five-toe cats.


Since I'm back, I want to share one interesting story with you all.  For Thanksgiving, my parents and me went out at ate at some resturants that were open in downtown.  We stopped at a placed called the Lazy Gecko.  It seemed like a nice place and the food was great.  However, in the back area near the pool tables is an entire wall filled of photos of women who have taken their tops off at the resturant.  Interesting decore...

In the men's bathroom, they have condom machine that has a picture of a stop light that say, Stop on the red, think on the yellow, and Get It Going on green.  They had advertistments for 4 different adult entertainments show/resturants, plus I think a sex show as well.  Also, the toliet paper was wet and part of the wall behind the toilet in stall I was in was missing.  My mom said in the women's bathroom, all they had was curtain that was for the stall doors.  Odd choices!

So, I'm back now!

Glad that you're having a good trip.  I really am thinking of taking a vacation this Spring to Myrtle Beach.

P.S., I initially somehow misread the title of this post at first and thought it said "Greetings From Kanye West".   :tongueout:
