The Trip
A childhood friend has been living the dream on a florida keys island for the past five years.
He invited us down to his 5 acre paradise in between the new and old 7-Mile Bridge known as Pigeon Key. You'll remember this most notably from the movie True Lies with "Arnle" (bad austrian accent).
The island housed some of the earliest florida pioneers and still has that early 1900's charm. On sundays it turns into a public park with a two mile birdge run, walk or stroll.
One of the coolest places to live and work, I would suggest a visit to anyone down that way.
The History
- The old bridge and key are listed on the National Register of Historic Places
- First land route from Miami to Key West.
