By Lulu Every year in September the Peterson’s Harley turns into the start up point for a 5 card stop to Key West. If you haven’t ridden in this one you should put it on your calendar for next year. Not only is it a wild and crazy weekend, it also raises money for the Diabetes Research Institute and the Key West Sunrise Rotary Club. AND you might win a Harley! This year the stops included Gilbert’s Resort & Tiki Bar in Key Largo, Lorelei at mile marker 82, The Island Fish Company in Marathon, Boondocks in Ramrod Key and the final stop Conch Republic in Key West. As usual, we always have a few stops of our own along the way which includes a visit to Robbie’s to watch the tarpon feeding Read the rest of this entry »

Thankful is that my friends who have faced grave illness or injuries, this year are still here…cured, in remission, healed or still fighting a brave fight! Read the rest of this entry »

By Miserable George Hey, you all know me...maybe...but at any rate, I tell it like it is, and so it is with Spooks & Scoots, 2011. This event (the 31st Annual) had just about all the negative crap you could think of going against it this year: the recession, other local events, and…the weather. All these things made for a smaller crowd...smaller yes, but not less enthusiastic! Read the rest of this entry »

By Metric and Phoenix [singlepic id=2298 w=150 h=113 float=left]By the time you read this article Veterans Day will have come and gone, but in my mind every day should be Veterans Day.
