Because Key West is such a beautiful and laid back island there are many celebrities past and present who have visited or made our island paradise their home.

Key West's most famous celebrity would be Ernest Hemingway who lived on the island from 1928 to 1939. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is his most popular work penned while living in his famous compound off of Duval Street. He also spent his free time fishing in the Dry Tortugas waters and drinking at the famous Sloppy Joe's bar bar where he is still revered and remembered both for his wild streak and generous spirit.

Tennessee Williams Jordan 1 Flyknit For Sale , playwright of both well known works, "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" was often seen at the Heritage House along with poet Robert Frost. Actually, The Heritage House is where Robert Frost wrote his famous "The Gift Outright" which is most known for being read at JFK's inauguration ceremony. The Robert Frost Poetry Festival is now held here yearly.

President Harry S. Truman spent his winters in Key West during his presidency. In fact the winter home which was originally the first officer's quarters on the naval station (and was once occupied by Thomas Edison during WW1 while serving in the navy) is now known as the Harry S. Truman Little White House because of the time he spent in the home during 11 visits to Key West. Also to pay respect to the President, Division Street was renamed Truman Avenue in 1948 after his reelection. Upon leaving office Truman made several return trips back to the home that was unofficially dubbed the " Southernmost White House."

Several other very respectable Presidents and politicians have stayed in the Truman "Little White House":

In 1948 General General Dwight D. Eisenhower held meetings here that resulted in creating the Department of Defense. He returned almost 10 years later as President to recuperate from a heart attack.

President John Kennedy held a one day summit here in 1961 with British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.

President Jimmy Carter held a family reunion in the home in 1996.

In 2001 Secretary of State Colin Powell opened a week of OSCE peace talks at the site.

On February 12, 1974 the home was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. In 1991 Jordan 1 Velvet For Sale , the house became a state historic site & museum.

Jimmy Buffet, the laid back beach bum musician established this attitude after being introduced to Key West where he moved during the early 70's. In 1985, the singersongwriterfilm producerauthor also opened the first of his popular Margaritaville restaurants on Duval Street where it remains a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.

FOUR Chinese boxers are being rewarded with a trip to the United States for training and to compete against American counterparts following their promising performance in the League of Fists, China’s professional boxing tournament.

Xu Que, Qu Peng Jordan 1 Pinnacle For Sale , Liu Yongcai and Li Tonghui will receive a two-month training in Las Vegas, organized by American boxing promoter Top Rank. The four will learn from experienced coach Derrick Harmon, a former WBC intercontinental champion who boasts a professional record of 25-7-0. Freddie Roach, celebrated coach of eight-division world champion Manny Pacquio, will also give guidance.

Boxing promoting firm SECA Jordan 1 Storm Blue For Sale , which is also the promoter of China’s two-time Olympic champion Zou Shiming, hopes the four boxers will upgrade their skills during their stay in the US.

All of the four boxers are born between 1989 and 1991, and participated in last year’s League of Fists. Qu, an Inner Mongolia native, and Xu Jordan 1 Top Three For Sale , who is from Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, won WBO China Champion belts in their weight categories.

“All of them are between 25 and 30 years old, which we regard as the golden age for boxers,” a SECA staff told Shanghai Daily. “They are among the best in their age groups in China Jordan 1 Black Toe For Sale , but still have potential for improvement. We offer them the opportunity to learn from foreign experts and hope one of them will become the next Zou Shiming.”

Xu and Li used to be boxers in the country’s national system — they have represented local teams and China in national and international competitions where their basic costs were covered by the sports administration. Talking about the major changes they feel after turning professional, both boxers mentioned back-up support and self-discipline.

“Compared to the days in local teams, lack of back-up is one of the major differences, including coach, nutritionist Jordan 1 Mid For Sale , recovery expert, etc,” said Li, of Anhui Province who turns 27 this week. “Also, since we are training and fighting for ourselves Jordan 1 Low For Sale , self-discipline is very important.”

Xu, also 27, comes from an impoverished family. Having taken up the sport 15 years ago, he cherishes the US training opportunity and hopes boxing will change his life one day. “I want to learn about the boxing culture in the US, as well as their training methods and medical support for boxers and use that in my future training Jordan 1 High For Sale ,” said Xu.
