Dogs riding in a jeep: what could be more Key West than that?
And of course the Conch cruiser, as ratty old cars are known around here, has lots of stickers, either to express the character of the occupant or to hold together the rusted bodywork. I am a pedicab virgin in Key West never having ridden one here but they do look picturesque sometimes and in certain locations.
I'm not sure what the collective noun for a group of parked Harleys is but I was thinking of a cluster, or standing or something. They gather all around town in front of various hotels and guest houses.
ATM machine = Automated Teller Machine machine. From the Department of Redundancy Department. If it weren't available inside what would be the point of the sign? Everyone in this country seems to think everyone else has lost their minds.
Sailing: the last bastion of independence and self sufficiency.
And then finally we have the foul t-shirt du jour. Why oh why I ask myself do I have to see this shite on the streets of Key West, at Clinton Square in this case ready to greet cruise ship passengers entering town? Now I grant you not everyone in town likes cruise ship passengers as a class but this?
And you can get it cheap too! As to what it means I recommend Urban Dictionary for the latest youth slang which is about as hideous as the shirt. Mind you, we get to see all sorts on our streets.
I expect he had a deprived upbringing, a place where good taste and manners were in short supply. The more I'm around people the more I like dogs.

Mr Conchscooter:
I am not sure I like the format change, but then I am a creature of habit and repetition. Perhaps after a few days I will grow to accept it

Thank you for the thoughtful comment.
I like this post, as it captured a portion of the Key West experience - the good and the not so good.
So unlike anything on the mainland; I'll take it warts and all.
Content on Fleming,
Chuck.
The obscene sayings aside, I am always amused to find the same shops on Duval "Going out of buisness" upon every visit. I do hope your friend Jack gets a charge out of the cat in the tank top/half shirt combo.

Or going out "for" business, they say.
The worst part of being a tourist on Key West is being treated (marketed to) like one.
Jennifer's plane leaves at 4:30 this afternoon, Michael. She'll be on your island this time tomorrow.
Take care, and thanks again...
