      <title>Florida Keys Arts and Culture</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Florida Keys           Arts and Culture&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Keys are made up of small towns and communities. However, due to the         strong economy from our tourist base, the Arts are a primary part of         our culture. Most weekends bring festivals and street parties throughout         the Keys and especially in Key West. Photography of wildlife here is         also great&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dhphotoart.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;. Check         out www.dhphotoart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Florida Keys Council of the Arts does a great job in supporting Art       in the Keys &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.keysarts.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.keysarts.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Also see the Key West Arts and historical society &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kwahs.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.kwahs.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Music&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	The Keys Community Concert Band. Susan Bazin 451-4530. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Keys Chamber Orchestra. Call Inga-Lisa Wright, 305-744-0508 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	The Key West Pops, Inc. - 305 293-7658, P.O. Box 6206 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Note to musicians-There are about a zillion Tiki bars etc, that have   live music. The times range from the afternoon through the evening. The pay   is generally better than you'll find working in a regular club in the rest   of the country. In addition to that most outdoor venues shut their nusic down   about 11-so the hours are shorter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Museums and Culture&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Ernest Hemingway Home &amp;amp; Museum - 305 294-1136, 907 Whitehead St.,   Key West FL &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Flagler's Station Historeum&amp;reg;-901 Caroline St., 1-305-295-3562. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West East Martello Museum - 305 296-3913, 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Lighthouse Museum - 305 294-0012, 938 Whitehead Street &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Museum of Art &amp;amp; History - 305 295-6616 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Shipwreck Historeum - 305 292-8990, 1 Whitehead Street &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Little White House Museum - 305 294-9911 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Lofton B. Sands African Bahamian Museum - 305 293-9692, &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Wrecker's Museum - 322 Duval St., 294-9502.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Theater/dance&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Middle Florida Keys &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Marathon Community Theatre, 5101 O/S Hwy.....305 743-0994 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Theatre &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Island Opera Theatre.....305 296-1520 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Red Barn Theatre, 319 Duval St (Rear).....305 296-9911 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Waterfront Playhouse, Mallory Square.....305 294-5015&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Art Galleries/ Visual Arts&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Over 90 galleries throughout the Keys&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Note to Artists; regardless of the medium, ther is a place for you   in the Keys. The Keys strongly support resident artists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Writers groups in all genres (from screenwriting to novels) are spread       throughout the Keys. There is definitely a reason so many world class writers       and Play-rights have made and do make the Keys their home. Especially Key       West.(&amp;ldquo;Ernest Hemingway&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;) The musician and actor community       here is strong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, the arts community in the keys is strong and will even       grow stronger. If you like the arts and a small community with lots of       outdoor opportunities, The Florida Keys could be just your place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wouldn&amp;rsquo;t it be nice to vacation here and not have to leave?&lt;/p&gt;

Although the total         population is less than 90,000, due to the influx of tourists,&lt;br /&gt; good healthcare has to be available.

      <title>Florida Keys Employment</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Florida Keys         Employment&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;style36&quot;&gt;Our         local economy leans towards goods and services for both new residents         and tourists.The retail, construction and hotel industries have the most         employees in Monroe County.&lt;br /&gt; Business Size&lt;br /&gt; Monroe County is comprised of primarily small businesses.&lt;br /&gt; Since there is no state or local income tax, you take home more.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Employment: The good news.&amp;nbsp; Key West has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.&lt;br /&gt; Why? Key West is one of the most popular destination points in the world for Divers, Boaters, Fishermen and people looking to get out of the bad weather and enjoy our water and the unique ambiance of Key West and the neighboring islands&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;style36&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So         What. In addition to people flying and driving in, on average we get         two to three Cruise ships from all over the world each day. This has         spurred a growth which includes more hotels, condos, and restaurants,         charters, etc. Obviously all these new startups plus all the existing         ones need people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;style36&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So.         The bad news for an Employer! &lt;br /&gt; Employers have a hard time finding full time or year round employees. Instead       they get people looking to work summers or to pay for extended vacations.       Now there is nothing wrong with this and in some cases this is what they       want however in most cases they would like to find steady year round help       and offer full benefits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;style36&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The         good news for you. &lt;br /&gt; If you are looking for a steady job, have your own transportation and a       good work ethic (will show up) there are lots of jobs to be had. For instance       in the building, remodeling trade contractors have a very hard time getting       reliable help. Some of these jobs start at $15.00 per hour. In general       retail jobs start at $8.00 and quickly go to $10.00 and more with commissions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;style36&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Sound         too good to be true. Remember this is a resort area, which has a unique         and completely different makeup than the rest of the country or world.         Kind of like Aspen except that we get tourists year round!&lt;br /&gt; To look for jobs in the classifieds go to&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.keysjobs.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.keysjobs.com&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.keynoter.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.keynoter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Some statistics:&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Construction 5.4%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Education &amp;amp; Health Services&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 12.3%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Financial Activities 6.0%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Information 1.3%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Leisure &amp;amp; Hospitality 32.6%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Manufacturing 0.8%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Natural Resources &amp;amp; Mining&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 0.4% &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Other Services 3.5%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Professional &amp;amp; Business Services 7.8%&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Public administration&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 8.8% &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull;  Trade, Transportation and Utilities 21.2% &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Florida Keys Arts and Culture</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Florida Keys           Arts and Culture&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Keys are made up of small towns and communities. However, due to the         strong economy from our tourist base, the Arts are a primary part of         our culture. Most weekends bring festivals and street parties throughout         the Keys and especially in Key West. Photography of wildlife here is         also great&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dhphotoart.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;. Check         out www.dhphotoart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Florida Keys Council of the Arts does a great job in supporting Art       in the Keys &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.keysarts.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.keysarts.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Also see the Key West Arts and historical society &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kwahs.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.kwahs.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Music&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	The Keys Community Concert Band. Susan Bazin 451-4530. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Keys Chamber Orchestra. Call Inga-Lisa Wright, 305-744-0508 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	The Key West Pops, Inc. - 305 293-7658, P.O. Box 6206 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Note to musicians-There are about a zillion Tiki bars etc, that have   live music. The times range from the afternoon through the evening. The pay   is generally better than you'll find working in a regular club in the rest   of the country. In addition to that most outdoor venues shut their nusic down   about 11-so the hours are shorter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Museums and Culture&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Ernest Hemingway Home &amp;amp; Museum - 305 294-1136, 907 Whitehead St.,   Key West FL &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Flagler's Station Historeum&amp;reg;-901 Caroline St., 1-305-295-3562. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West East Martello Museum - 305 296-3913, 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Lighthouse Museum - 305 294-0012, 938 Whitehead Street &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Museum of Art &amp;amp; History - 305 295-6616 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Shipwreck Historeum - 305 292-8990, 1 Whitehead Street &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Little White House Museum - 305 294-9911 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Lofton B. Sands African Bahamian Museum - 305 293-9692, &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Wrecker's Museum - 322 Duval St., 294-9502.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Theater/dance&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Middle Florida Keys &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Marathon Community Theatre, 5101 O/S Hwy.....305 743-0994 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Key West Theatre &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Island Opera Theatre.....305 296-1520 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Red Barn Theatre, 319 Duval St (Rear).....305 296-9911 &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Waterfront Playhouse, Mallory Square.....305 294-5015&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Art Galleries/ Visual Arts&lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Over 90 galleries throughout the Keys&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;bull; 	Note to Artists; regardless of the medium, ther is a place for you   in the Keys. The Keys strongly support resident artists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Writers groups in all genres (from screenwriting to novels) are spread       throughout the Keys. There is definitely a reason so many world class writers       and Play-rights have made and do make the Keys their home. Especially Key       West.(&amp;ldquo;Ernest Hemingway&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;) The musician and actor community       here is strong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, the arts community in the keys is strong and will even       grow stronger. If you like the arts and a small community with lots of       outdoor opportunities, The Florida Keys could be just your place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wouldn&amp;rsquo;t it be nice to vacation here and not have to leave?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Living and Investing in the Upper Keys </title>
      <description>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;style45&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;style39&quot;&gt;Living and Investing in the Upper         Keys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Upper Keys is a great area for both recreation and Investments. The reason       is simple: Miami and Miami International is just an hours drive. In Addition,       the recent incredible growth in the South Miami area of Homestead (Forecasts       call for 1 million people by 2010) is adding to the desire for homes in the Keys.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;style39&quot;&gt;Why is this good for Investors &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;style45&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Ft Lauderdale, Naples and Miami residents come to the upper Keys for the weekends,       meaning rental homes, duplexes, condos and hotels enjoy great occupancy rates.       More importantly, Environmental issues and the fact there is just one main road       into the Keys strictly restricts building. There is only so much land still available.       The Keys can never be like California in terms of growth. Since they are restricted,       this protects your investment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
