Key Largo Unveils Stunning, New Welcome Sign!

By
Real Estate Agent with American Caribbean / Christie's International Real Estate SL0624654

There's nothing like cresting Jewfish Creek Bridge. As the first threshold into the Keys,Key Largo It welcomes You. Atop it's 65 foot summit, sits Mile Marker 108 and you catch your first real glorious glimpse of the Stunning Florida Keys.  A tantalizing teaser of what's to come.   I love to roll my windows down...breath in that fresh Keys sea air and revel in the fact...that I'm ... back.

Now, There is a new welcoming sight! 
 
Key Largo has unveiled its new Welcome Sign.  Right as you descend from the Bridge and into the Key, you are greeted with this enormous burst of color.  A stunning mixed reef view complete with Angelfish, French Grunts, sea fans and brain coral, backed by a sea of blue.  I could not think of a nicer way to say hello to visitors to the Keys, and now, it too shall be a sight I treasure.
 
Key Largo
There IS a downside to this Welcome Sign though...and it is the back side.  A terrible sight indeed.  For the flip side of this lovely Welcome sign is the Leaving the Florida Keys Sign. 
 
Even though very pretty, A dreadful sight indeed. 
 
Even the Turtle looks sad! I know whenever I leave the Keys, I'M sad!!
 
But then, I return south...crest the Bridge...roll down the windows...breathe...and I'm ...back.

I wish I could see the new sign in person. Mel and I traveled to the Keys in about 1998 and loved the area. So beautiful. Maybe we'll make it back again some day.

That's a very cool sign.  It must be a lot of fun working a market that's world famous.  I can't imagine people want to leave.

Mike, Ann, Sandy, and Cheryl - Thank you for your comments and your congrats on my first Feature.

Bryan - Yes it is an awesome Market to work.  I did leave when I lived in California for 10 yrs and though that was great, I missed being down here.

Gretchen - Sounds like another trip down here is in order!

Mykael, the sign makes the Florida Keys very inviting. Gotta love the "Back To Reality" statement when leaving.
