Lido Shuffle
Tagged: guest author, james greer
I’ve been to Lido Key Beach, located in Sarasota, Florida, so I can confirm when guest author James Greer calls it “Paradise,” that’s not hyperbole.

About as ubiquitous as palm trees and probably dwarfing the number of churches, Key West is as famous for its watering holes as it is anything else.
