Signs of Key West

It’s often said of cities people visit that there’s no other place quite like it.  Well, that’s definitely true of Key West, the most southern point in Florida.

Many cities have unique qualities — Vancouver BC and it’s beautiful harbor, New Orleans with its fascinating French Quarter, San Francisco and its Golden Gate — you get the idea.

I’ve often visited Florida, but this past year marked my first visit to Key West.  I was delighted with what I found.  It’s an eclectic mix of history, the sea, grown up hippies, people who respect the military, partying, and a positive attitude about life.  The place is a lot of fun!

Regular readers of this website know that I like to collect photos of the signs I encounter during my travels.  Key West had some great ones, like this one on a small house boat in Key West’s Marina….

Or this interesting collection of art in someone’s front yard….

Key West is the furthest point south in the Continental USA, but did you know it also is home to the southernmost Menorah?

At first I thought this sign below was an ad for the Spring Break teen crowd, but it turns out it’s for breast cancer awareness.

Here then are more of the signs I saw during my visit to Key West:

And finally, you’ll want some of this to keep your drink cool in the hot climate of the Keys.
