Simonton Lane is not a heavily traffic'ed lane, indeed just walking by you might think it was a driveway. It's next to the unusual cement house on Simonton Street, which has a transient rental license apparently:
I find the labeling on Key West mail boxes amusing, but I am easily entertained I guess. 
But I am not alone in my family in finding the little things that keep life interesting.
As usual I have no idea what it's called but it looks cool.
And check out that bougainvillea hiding out in the upper reaches of a tall tree.
If you were thinking of scaling the tall fence in the hope that it was actually a public access, this ugly sign should set you straight.
The sign is ugly, the port hole isn't.
Another sign tacked to this magnificent tree is to warn you that if you park here your car will be towed.
I wanted to know what was under the tarp but I resisted the urge to peek.
I want a door like this, see out and not be seen in. 
There are more guest houses than you can throw a stick at in Key West. I've never heard of this one, for instance. 
A European pot for a touch of the exotic.
An exhausted Labrador, resting. 
This house design looked odd to me, the peaked roof and the fancy door with a blank wall and blank windows in between.
Pretty little lane.
Really, it does look more like a driveway than a public street.

Hey great to see you. No, really Im sorry I missed meeting you on my trip there. One thing led to another and now Im back home. (im trying to settle my moms estate). Next time Im in town for a visit I will def look u up.I plan on coming down next year earlier in the year.Please forgive me!!
Bobskoot and I have exchanged emails, and I've invited you all to Astoria for a look around this very interesting place, and a meal too. He has my phone and email in case you're not traveling with it. I'm not holding my breath but I might keep my hopes up a bit.
Buon viaggio,
Cindy
Dear Conchscooter:
The plant that you labelled "cool" is a "triffid." They become animated during meteor showers, and eat people. One constantly gives Jeanette Scott a hard time in the Rocky Horror Picture Show theme song.
The first cement house picture looks as if someone told an architect to build a version of Rubik's Cube. Why would anyone move to paradise, pay a king's ransom for thwe property, and then build a replica of a bunker. This is where good zoning laws pay off.
On that subject, I get a great magazine 50 times a year called "The Week." It summarizes some of the best editorials to be found in US publications, and n periodicals around the world. It has a great real estate section.
I found this:
Key Largo: Set on a four-acre ocean-front property planted with fruit trees, this thrree bedroom cottage was used as a Red Cross station during the 1905-1912 construction of the Overseas Railroad. Its 197-foot frontage comes with a dock-building permit.
$2,499,000
The lack of money is the only thing that keeps me from moving in.
How's the trip going?

Mr Conchscooter:
I can hardly contain myself, I can't sleep, I can't drink, all of my thoughts are consumed . Thinking that our Pink croc brotherhood will finally be united once again. They lost track of themselves at the Pink Croc factory and now they are getting anxious. It's like meeting a long lost brother.
5 more sleeps . . .

Dear IronDad (Dan):
I wrote your number down too. (Insert evil laugh). The Association of Aluminum Siding Salesman will get a kick out of it.
