This Week on the Island 03/22/2020


‘This Week on the Island’ is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.
The Weather:  Same as last week and the week before. And the week before.

This week’s book was:
Because of the Coronavirus, All bars in Key west closed at 5 Pm on Tuesday. Teeki and I went to Schooner for one last beer.
The next day all restaurants were closed except for takeout. Teeki and I took a ride around town. Everything is closed.
Pepe's serving people on the side walk.
Harpoon Harry's serving people on the sidewalk.

Dante's closed
Half Shell Raw Bar closed
Turtle Kraals closed
