On Thursday in the Herald’s Business section, a depressing story about Key West and the Duval Street blues….their economic slowdown…business is bad… nobody is eating out much….nobody is buying at the stores…..
Today’s Business section about gambling on the convention center hotel. The pitfalls that have come to others who have tried this.
Tourism is down in Florida…both papers say….
Yet…
A walk down ElMar Drive this season….finds No Vacancy signs …..overflowing restaurants… in town (and out)…..even the “white elephant” parking lot is full or fuller than it has been!
Traffic is a nightmare… the stores are full….the malls are full… the beach is full………..
Maybe we need to change our motto….from “The prettiest Small Town in America” to “The Luckiest Small Town In America”
Brittany Wallman….How’s that for a story?
