Storm Evacuees Refresh At "The Last Chance Saloon"

Monroe County Mayor Mario Di Gennaro apologized to tourists for the inconvenience

FLORIDA CITY (CBS4) ― In Florida City, on Saturday morning, traffic flowed into the Keys with people wanting to secure property as storm advisories suggest Hurricane Ike may be felt as early as Monday evening. 

South Florida and especially the Keys aren't out of danger yet. Ike is expected to be a Category 2 or 3 hurricane when it passes very close to the Lower Keys on Tuesday, with weather beginning to deteriorate late Monday.

At the Comfort Inn, along US-1, the hotel manager told CBS4 Reporter Jorge Estevez , "We get a lot of calls from people coming from the Keys, who say they're scared. They're worried." 

Then there's a locale called "The Last Chance Saloon", where the turnpike merges into South Dixie Highway, where people can find the rustic roots of the old South and get a 'last chance'  to refresh before any further deterioration in the weather begins.
