Letter to the Editor:
The Key West Chamber of Commerce is extremely gratified for the efforts of Commissioner Barry Gibson and for the community spirit shown by the Duval Street merchants in cleaning up the extremely vulgar language that had been on display on T-Shirts in the store front windows. If you live here you can’t help but notice an improvement as you stroll down the street. We understand, of course, that each individual has different personal standards that might gauge the progress differently. There is no denying that progress has been made.
It is satisfying to see that civic pride by merchants works without resorting to drafting ordinances and starting costly legal battles. Although we are also aware that there are two businesses that have not yet gone along with the community spirit, it is wonderful to see our business community stand tall and honor the standards held by the community at large.
We sincerely appreciate the cooperation from everyone that was involved.
Bascom L. Grooms IV, President
Key West Chamber of Commerce
