Here is an Ambassador Report from down in Key West,

Brian Fields lets us know what is going on in our favorite part of the country.

 

Update from Key West and the Florida Keys – Key West Beachfront Radio Ambassador Brian “B-Man” Fields

 

It’s eerie to walk down Duval Street in Key West and not see the crowds on the sidewalks, the sound of a cruise ship blasting their horn to remind passengers it’s time to board and move on, and to hear the many musicians playing around the many bars in town.  Brings to mind the words in Jimmy Buffett’s song “When the Coast is Clear” -- The tourist traps are empty, vacancy a bounds, Almost like it used to be, before the circus came to town – many have said we live in the worlds largest gated community since the establishment of roadblocks coming into the Keys, but it’s all for good reason.

 

Strange how life can change in the blink of an eye and that is true for the Florida Keys and Key West during this life changing pandemic.  Bars and restaurants shut down, local merchant shops closed, many out of work, and the request for everyone to limit our movement and stay home and isolate.  Yes, Key West is very quiet and missing everyone who would have been here for the many events that occur during the Spring season – the only sound you’ll hear are the chickens, who pretty much own the island now (a little island humor there).  As the pandemic has altered the life of many, behind the scenes there are some good things happening.

 

During this time of the COVID-19, the Florida Keys and Key West are taking the opportunity during this slow time to work on many County/City projects to enhance the infrastructure for the locals and tourists.  In Key West, the City has moved up many much-needed street repair projects.  On Duval and Simonton Streets, most corners and sidewalks are under construction and in the near future both will receive new road pavement. 

 

Many of the businesses around town are painting and repairing their shops/bars/restaurants and conducting large-scale cleaning to make the environment safer for everyone.  In a time of uncertainty, it’s refreshing to see so many local business owners taking the time to tidy up and prepare for the reopening of Key West and eventually the opening to all our tourists who we miss very much. 

 

In the end, the Florida Keys and Key West will bounce back…we always do and always will.  It may not look the same or may seem a little different, as to date there have been many businesses closing their doors permanently, but other opportunities and doors will open for others.  The resiliency of the Florida Keys and Key West and the people who live here is unstoppable.  We look forward to seeing everyone in the near future and can’t wait to see everyone posting “We are finally once again “KEY WEST BOUND””!  Stay safe and healthy everyone and remember we are all “One Human Family”!

Welcome to our latest Sponsor - - -

The Colebrookdale Railroad !!!  

Website: colebrookdalerailroad.com    or click HERE

 

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to travel on a train back in time to when the country was being explored by our early pioneers?

 

 

Experience the wonder and splendor of the bygone era of the Titanic (1900 to 1916) aboard the Colebrookdale Railroad. Travel Through Pennsylvania's Secret valley, enjoy a five star meal, listen to the grand piano, or sip a specialty cocktail as the train crosses tall timber trestles and deep rock cuts on one of the northeast's most scenic journeys unspoiled by time. The Colebrookdale's Secret Valley looks much the same today as it would to the iron-willed pioneers who first ventured along its cold, rushing creeks three centuries ago. Santa trains, foliage trains, and a host of special events make the Colebrookdale Railroad perfect for making lasting memories.

 

Visit colebrookdalerailroad.com and book your trip today for the adventure of a lifetime into the past.
