Postage Stamp Campground, Key West, FL.,(nearby Island)  (fictional name)

I was doing an art show in Key West and tent-camped on an adjacent Island in a private campground. I'm not exaggerating when I say my site was postage stamp size. There was room for my truck, a picnic table, and a a little space for my tent. That was it. Bear in mind, this little campground was packed with RVs, so I was lucky to get anything. There was a full-sized bus RV that must have cost as much as you pay for a house. I only spent a few hours there every night to sleep, so it didn't matter to me. The rates were similar to what you'd pay for a modest motel. This was insular life, lilliputian in size and gargantuan in price.
.
Land and space is at a premium on Islands like Key West, and everything has to be shipped in because there is no space for farms or anything. You go to McDonald's and it's a tiny little building.
It also felt like time was at a premium. People were vacationing there and they had to take in everything in in a short time. Bars were blaring music all day long. The art show was not great either. The word was that a tourist ship neglected to stop there for some reason, so there were thousands of people who didn't show up.

There was one thing I noticed about Key West that I thought was cool, though. There were a lot of chickens running around. It almost seemed like they were native there, and just lived in the town free range. It added to the atmosphere.

Soon after I got back home in Dallas, I was listening to NPR and there was a story about Key West. it seems that's the city passed an ordinance against letting chickens run free. Dang! That was the only thing I liked about Key West.

Knights Inn
Add a K to Night? Is that as creative as you can get? I guess a bed is a bed. Or will we dream of King Arthur and Maid Marion?

Low Quality Inns
We're cheap and you get a bed. You're only going to be there for 8 hours. Why break the bank? Not affiliated with Quality Inns.
