More Key West Signs

Now you know where to go if you want to see naked breasts in Key West:I find it hard to view the sad eyed Eastern European women uncovering their breasts for obsessed Americans as "exotic" but what would a tourist town be without a little drunken titillation? Far more exotic to me are these hand written signs popping up around town. Neatly written in the copperplate of a long lost era when penmanship mattered, carefully pinned to fences and trees (!) I have seen more than one of these pleas for an employed female room mate.I expect an "exotic" dancer from bare Assets would qualify. There is that open space where Jabours Trailer Park used to be, behind Schooner Wharf and apparently people were enjoying the open space before Pritam Singh steps in and builds another hotel, so in an effort to prevent anyone getting the idea that this open space should be enjoyed they put up rope around the perimeter and more of these ugly signs. Weeds and plastic signs. Stores keep popping up around town and because I am decidedly not a shopper I have no idea where they are so in an effort to keep abreast of the changing retail scene I try to notice these shops. When people dial 9-1-1 if they don't know the street name they can tell us what store they are in front of and the computer will accept that as a location and spit out a street address. It helps me when taking the call if I can visualize where they say they are so I can confirm the location more accurately. Besides I rather liked this non-plastic sign.Dust catcher alert! "Anointed"? Huh?Key West: land of the barely noticed inexplicable.
