What and where is Cedar Key? It was a small town on the Gulf Coast about an hour west of Gainesville where I went to law school and we used to go there a couple times a year because there was a great seafood restaurant on the Gulf that was worth the drive, although driving back after a few bottles of wine on a two lane road under moss covered trees at night was a little scary. And every year they had a seafood festival that was a must.

So what’s the point of this rant? Cedar Key was a sleepy little town of maybe 300 people back in my day which would be about 50 years ago. Today I saw it on the weather channel because it’s probably where Hurricane Idalia is going to make landfall. And it now has Gulf front condos! It’s come a long way baby.
