Living in paradise is living in Key West. People travel for thousands of miles just to have a little taste of the salt life that we locals indulge in every day. From boat days to song writers festivals, here are 20 signs that you’re from Key West.
Living in the keys, it’s inevitable.
It’s Key West, nothing surprises us anymore.
If you don’t constantly eat at Kims Kubans, you’re not a Conch. Plain and simple.
Everyone has them.
The island is divided when it comes to college football (sorry UCF and the “U”).
It’s true what they say, you go at your own pace when living on an island.
And the space heaters and the jackets.
It’s a lifestyle.
The water is always perfect.
If you’re not out on the boat, you’re probably at Big Johns.
It’s fun having to drive 3+ hours just to leave the Keys and hit some real shops.
Seeing fully grown men in heels and stage makeup is a casual thing.
If they’re not from Key West, chances are they pronounce the “ch” in “conch” and you have to constantly remind them its said “konk”.
And probably your third cousin twice removed.
Nothing beats Key West weather…sunny at 3:00…storming at 3:06…sunny at 3:10.
Despite the island life, yes, we do in fact drive on roads with our cars.
Game night is a family affair.
And when you do it lasts about 5 minutes thanks to the wonderful humidity.
You have not seen a real sunset until you have seen it from the comfort of Mallory Square.
Key West isn’t just a community, it’s a family. Once a Conch, always a Conch.
