Key West Triathlons, Marathons, and More Athletic Events
Key West may be known for its tropical climate and its party atmosphere, but it also has so much more going for it. While one can imagine that some of those things would be the island’s rich historical aspect and world-renowned fishing for obvious reasons, one may not think that it is a destination for sports […]

The Key West Maltese
Everyone who is a dog person has a favorite breed, and mine happens to be the Maltese. They are small yet sturdy and strikingly cute with snow white hair contrasting with alert black eyes and nose.

Charlie Mac’s | Review
Yesterday was Tuesday so a few of us decided to partake in Taco Tuesday at one of the downtown restaurants that do this weekly special. We ended up at Charlie Mac’s on Southard Street next to the Green Parrot. I had not been here since it was the Meteor Smokehouse like ten years ago, but I had heard […]
Lazy Gecko | Review
At one time in my life, bar hopping was a normal activity for me; but as I have grown up I find that I have little time and rarely an inclination to do so anymore. That is not to say that I never go out and enjoy a few drinks at a bar. It is […]
Firefly | Review
I recently went to a private event at Firefly which is located in what used to be Columbian Grace Restaurant on Petronia Street, just down the street from Blue Heaven and the Creperie. Typically when I attend these types of events the food served is not necessarily indicative to the usual fare. However, Firefly actually […]
The Wharf Bar and Grill | Review
I absolutely love eclectic little whole in the wall places. The usually have some of the freshest food, especially when that place is also a fish house. For a while Fishbusterz on Stock Island had a great little restaurant attached to it. And Skip One Fish House in Fort Myers, Florida has the most amazing […]
Key West Houses of Worship
Religion may not be what one thinks of when they think Key West, but the island is home to many houses of worship including a Catholic Basilica, St. Mary’s Star of the Sea. But just because the island is so colorful and full of visitors, that does not mean that people have no religion. Even […]

The author only lived here from 1928 to 1939, but he was a legend in his own time and he definitely left a […]
Strip House | Review
I really am disappointed to have to write this review as Strip House was a favorite Key West restaurant of mine. But after the last two times, I will never being going back again. On a previous visit I ordered the scallops which made me sick for the following two days. Because this had been […]
Corner Store | Review
Just around the corner from Key West High School is the aptly named Corner Store. It is basically a local convenience store with a bonus feature. They also have a window where you can walk up and get a delicious cafe con leche, Cuban toast, and several other Cuban specialties. Most people opt to take […]
