Mile Marker Zero |
|
I walked out of my front gate and walked two blocks east. I turned north and walked another four blocks. Interestingly enough this is where I wound up. This is the beginning or the end, depending on which way you're heading, of US Highway 1 in Key West, Florida. The other end is in Fort Kent, Maine. |

Monroe County Courthouse |
|
Across the street from the Zero mile marker is the Monroe County Court House, built in 1890. (Coincidence?) |

The sign on the side of the Green Parrot notes the bar's distinction of being the first and last bar on US 1. |
