This Week on the Island 11/5/2023

 

‘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: The temp dropped into the 70’s and the wind has been blowing all week.

Over 7,000 people came to town and rode in the Zombi Bike Parade.

Then 60, 000 people arrived for Fantasy Fest and of course all of them wanted to be on the corner of Green and Duval Street (Sloppy Joe’s) for the Fantasy Fest Parade.

‘There is a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning’, Jimmy Buffett. Duval Street Saturday night and Duval Street Sunday morning. Our little town does a great job of cleaning-up.

This week was also the anniversary of the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

Then of course there Was Halloween.

Kermit of Kermit’s Key Lime Pie is 80 years old.

My neighbor opened a new pub on Front Street near Two Friends Restaurant.

And last night we got the chance to ‘turn back time’.

Next week, Offshore Powerboat Racing.

We leave you with ‘Easy like Sunday morning’.

Key West

Close to Perfect, Far from Normal’
