Mystery Photos of Key West

Yesterday, Mandy and I took several pictures that show portions of landmarks around Key West. If you know Key West you might be able to decide where we took the pictures and what is the image in the photo.

Where did I capture the above design?


This door is at 806 Caroline. What is here?

This is the Wolds's Smallest Bar. It has four stools but only two fit at the bar. What street is this?

We met this angelic street actor at what public venue?

This massive cast of a fish sits atop what landmark bar and what is the significance of his large mouth?


This Key West building is the only landmark ever mentioned in a Hemingway novel. In "To Have and Have Not", Pappa Ernie said that when crossing from Cuba to Key West, the lights of this building are the first visible. What is it?

Who is Reba Sawyer, 1900 to 1950 and where is her grave marker? It's not in a grave yard.

This is the men's room of what landmark restaurant? Hint--the urinal is almost alway full of ice.


This is Jill on the left and Todd on the right. You can see they like to advertise their last names on their clothing. Where are they and why does the bartender have red hair?


Where are Mandy and I?



I used this pic of Gerd Rube before. Where is he playing?

Mandy is flirting with the stone cold doorman. Where is she?

If you think you know some of the answers, post them in the 'comments' area by clicking on 'comments' below. Whoever gets the most correct answers can drop by our condo on Hidden Lake and have a few Key West Key Lime Martinis with us this coming summer. If you live someplace nice, we'll bring them to you.

  2. Thanks to Tom and Jerilynn; You have so many correct that no others can surpass you so here are the answers to the photos you didn't get.

    1 You are close. But not in Mallory Sq. It's the Conch Tour Train
    2, 3, 4, are all correct.
    5 is correct. If you can toss a coin into the fish's mouth, you'll have good luck. You might even get lucky.
    6 is close but not it. It's the La Concha Hotel on Duval.
    7 is correct. Tony carried on an affair with this married woman for many years. Her husband didn't learn of her infidelity until after her death. He picked up the grave marker from her burial site and dumped it on Tony's sidewalk. He reportedly said, "i took care of her for 30 years, let Tony keep her for eternity,"
    8 is wrong. It's the men's room at Pepe's. Every time I have been there, the urinal is filled with ice.
    9 was a joke. It's Jill Hurley and Todd YooHoo in the picture taken at the hotel bar next to Half Shell Raw Bar.
    10 is at Schooner Wharf Bar. Note the camera over the head of the dude in the white skull cap.
    11 and 12 are also correct.

    T & J, Drop in for a Key West Key Lime Martini.

  3. The deal was "If you live someplace nice, we'll bring them to you." We do live someplace nice. Not a nicer location or a better view or even a warmer climate than yours. We are looking forward to your 200 yard walk to our place to serve martinis on our deck on the first 80 degree day at Hidden Lake.
    Have a great trip. Come home safe. Keep the keel down. Keep up the blog...excellent.

    The winds and the tides always favor the ablest mariner.
