sure key west is a tourist trap, but so is 90% of florida. we figured out about 75 years ago it is easier to pick tourist than cotton & oranges...
i was working in the keys in the mid 80's and ask a local why so many "colorful" inhabitants were in one place. he said florida was the sediment bowl of the nation and key west was the bottom of the bowl..
we usually go for an afternoon for the girls to shop we go to sloppy joes for a beer & root beer the boys, then head north before the sun sets.
besides when else are you gonna be any closer?
