The Local Side of Key West
Closer to Cuba than Walmart

Living in Key West is amazing… and also totally weird.This week we’re talking about the everyday stuff locals deal with:

• Things are crazy expensive even though there’s literally a road to us• Amazon Prime taking 5 days• No Target, Walmart, or Costco• Having to go to Miami for real medical care• All the strange little island quirks that make Key West… Key West

If you’ve ever wondered what real life at Mile Marker 0 is like, this episode tells it exactly how it is.


Share this with your friends who dream of moving to the Keys!
