Jimmy Buffett's sister Lucy Buffett joined state and local officials in Key West Friday morning to unveil planned signage that is to come for the section of Florida’s A1A in the southernmost island city with the road's new designation statewide as Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway.
For the third time this year in Key West, a driver ended up in the drink. This is the 2nd one at Simonton Street Beach. DUI arrest for a North Fort Myers man. “I can’t believe how flooded this area is,” he told police after they swam him out, the arrest report said.
Thanks for sharing! For some reason being on an island puts you more in tune with the natural rhythms of the day, so sunsets always seem like a more significant event. I guess that’s why we literally have sunset celebrations down here. 🌅🌴
Yes, it’s totally normal to battle the U.S. Coast Guard in honor of seceding from the United States. Sometimes we even throw conch fritters or drop marine toilet paper from ultralight aircraft. Remember, only in good fun. Long live the Conch Republic!
The Conch Republic's flagship, schooner Wolf, engages in a mock sea battle with the U.S. Coast Guard using water guns Friday on Key West Harbor. A nod to the 1982 “battle” during Key West and the Florida Keys' secession from the U.S. Long live the Conch Republic! 📷: L. Blackburn
