Truman Avenue is a functional street as it leaves Duval Street and downtown tourist madness. There is the scooter rental of course for those needing a vacation ride:
But there is also the down to earth requirement that locals, and some visitors wash their clothes so we have a prosaic laundry:
I heard a commotion from across the street when a group of visitors were astonished to see a familiar store in the middle of Key West's weirdness; a CVS Pharmacy no less!
It is indeed open 24 hours and even offers pay phone service for the smartphone- impaired.
There is all the convenience of the CVS with a Subway sandwich shop and a Papa John pizza parlor next door. Dry cleaners are also located in this small shopping center, making this a useful stop.
The visitors were relieved to find something familiar for them to shop in, but I have to say I don't hang out here much
With it's messy parking lot, hangers-on and incessant traffic this spot is a little too reminiscent of busy mainland shopping centers. Writ small of course because this is still Key West.

Dear Mr. Conchatrain,
What happened to the poor orange woman leaving the (or just crossing) by the laundromat?

She was much amazed to see a familiar store and joyfully entered the exceeding useful if dull CVS. All the way to Key West to shop like at home.
