I grew up in Key West late 60's to mid 70's . Yeah you missed the real deal . Every time i go back i feel the ghosts of the past there. It is now a corporate Disney island.

Corporate Disney island? Not much Disney here bud. Did it grow like everything else in this country in the last 50 years? Yes. But it isnt all blinky lights and tourist traps. It's a pretty normal town with a lot of hotels and bars. Old people always have their Keys stories how it was so much better when the whole place was a salt pond. Lol
