Eclectic and eccentric, wild and warm, blessed with roguish characters and spectacular scenery, the keys are Florida's Wonderland, where the White Rabbit, Alice and the Queen of Hearts frolic--and no one pays the slightest attention.
Florida Keys history
The Conch Republic Eclectic and eccentric, wild and warm,
blessed with some of Florida's most colorful characters and equally
blessed with some of its most spectacular sea scenery, the Keys are
Florida's wonderland paradise. Anything goes here—and usually
does. Some years back, in fact, Keys residents, annoyed with the
federal government, announced their intention to secede from the
United part of the United States of America and re-unite as the
Conch Republic. As usual, no one, including many of their own
number, paid much attention. A failure to care about what the rest
of the world is doing or thinking is very characteristic of the
Keys. In the old days, folks deliberately lured ships onto the
rocks and made a very profitable career out of it. Residents plan
parties when terrifying hurricanes are blowing up a storm a few
miles off the coast. Just try and move them. They go fishing when
the spirit moves them and get spirited when the spirits move. They
even die with style: in Key West's cemetery, one of the epitaphs
declares: "I told you I was sick." Florida Keys local information
