I ran across the photograph on the left of my mother Mary, sister Susan, and myself, taken God knows when, in front of a London taxi, which was parked in front of the Jolly Sailor Restaurant in downtown Stuart, Florida. This pub was a fixture there for many years, but eventually it closed due to the rising costs of rent in what is now known as "Old Town Stuart." Old Town Stuart is located alongside the St. Lucie River, and is very charming, but these days is more like a tourist destination than the traditional downtown it used to be.
On the bright side, the owners of the Jolly Sailor opened up a restaurant called The Sailors Return in the Sunset Harbour and Marina, just a few blocks to the west, as seen in the photo on the right that I took back in 2016. On the far side of the building is an outdoor bar with fantastic views of the St. Lucie River, especially at sunset, and is called - you guessed it - The Jolly Sailor. How great is that?
