If you think Key West is great, wear nothing less than the conch, the true symbol of the "Rock". Anything else is messing with tradition!

The Conch is on their City Seal! The Conch is in their hearts and souls! Just ask my born-on-the-Rock buddy... Read the Legend of the Conch Click for photograph that will print actual size

"W" could stand for Wichita, or Weasel, or Wart, or Who knows What!" So they did, and the last time they were seen they were over at Buddy Owen's Fish Wagon drinking beer and eating Square Grouper sandwiches and cussing back and forth at a parrot and hobnobbing with all sorts of pirates and getting took for real live born-and-raised-here-from-scratch Conchs.
