See Key West before it's too late

by palla - last update: Mar 20, 2008

Strip mining approach to tourism

Some of you may already be aware of the real estate boom attacking Key West.Houses are selling for very high prices.Now a condo explosion is happening,hotels,motels,trailer parks and vacant land are all be torn down and gobbled up to make room for million dollar condos destined to sprout up across this 4x2 island.
Better visit Key West while there is still some charm left and the sun and view of the ocean can be seen.Soon only people in the appropriate income bracket will be able to visit and stay here.
Also at the top of the Keys a new overpass is being built to replace the old 18 mile stretch.Be aware this construction may delay driving times down the Keys.This project wont be done until 2009.

Formerly Jabour's Campground

Soon to be a gigantic condo blocking waterview next to Schnoor Wharf

 The Disney cruise actually (if I may be so bold!) SUCKED. And now I know why: their crew is weak and lazy. 18 hour days? Hey - what ever happened to 19 hours. I'm really thinking you have a point!

 Loved the place and will come back. Hopefully soon before it changes too much. Happy New Year. I remember going in somewhere called Sloppy Joes? Don't remember leaving!!

 Palla, Love the images and tips from Thailand. Hope to experience the country's beauty & customs for myself. Great advice about walking the side streets & relaxing in Key West. It's all about having the right attitude :-) Have a terrific birthday! -Cheers
