Another weekend, come and gone. Back to work tomorrow. Last Monday I took a long walk through Old Town and hung out in Hemingway’s yard for part of the afternoon. What a great way to spend the day. There are still parts of Key West that I haven’t discovered. It’s such an amazing little city. Let’s hope it can hold on to what’s left of its’ charm character amidst all the pressure from outside builders and corporations. Today I saw another sign “50% off, store closing” as I drove down US 1. Every time I see those sorts of signs my heart breaks a little. I know the struggle of owning a small business and it must be extremely painful to have to pack up and shut down something you’ve built and poured your everything into. Let’s hope things start to improve and people can reopen or start up new businesses again. Anyway, in support of independently owned businesses, check out www.goindependent.blogspot.com.
