I've been here just about 25 years and have an extensive collection of books about Florida Keys and Key West history. My wife bought Sharon's app for her phone and I started playing around with it one afternoon. It was very cool to play with and I enjoyed all the pictures of what things "used" to be. I can understand how the price can be a turn off. I was a bit taken back by the price but after looking at it thought it was well worth it. I'd be interested to hear if others thought it was a good value.

Sharon used to put out a free booklet with a bunch of self guided tours. Is it still available at her gallery?

The Walking and Biking Tour guide is no longer in print. The app is the way to get at Sharon's vast knowledge base.

I haven't purchased it yet, but plan to when I gat ack to town next week. It's probably like anything, it depends on what your interests are whether or not you feel it's worth the price. I expect it to be well worth it to me. Also, I will be happy to report back!

I guess I better hang on to my copy!

Speaking of tours and books, one of my favorite books about Key West is; ' The Streets Of Key West: A History Through Street Names' by J. Wills Burke. Take a walk and bring the book with you. A neat history.

Sharon's gallery is no longer on Duval. It is at 330 Julia Street. Her app is well worth $7.99. I mean, this is the price of one top shelf drink!

In my opinion, 30 years of knowledge and history, from a well respected local historian, set out over several walks throughout Old Town is well worth the price.

That may be true, Steve. But when someone puts so much time and effort into a new FREE website, with MUCH research and knowledge, it's also worth taking a look at. There is more than enough room for more than one walk-about guide, doncha think?

Thanks for sharing the info about Sharon's move! I just saw her a few months ago, so will look her up in the new spot when I get back to town.

Zippy, I don't understand your post. There is room for as many apps as people want to put out. I was just pointing out that I think this app contains great information from someone with vast knowledge about the architecture and history of Key West and that I think it is well worth $8.

Where have I put down anyone's app?
