Looks very familiar. Something like Jekyll Island?

A hundred and thirty years ago actually. Founded as a club with 53 members in 1888, members included famous families named Vanderbilt, Crane, Morgan, Goodyear, Rockefeller, Pulitzer. Once claimed that members controlled one sixth of the nations wealth. Yes Ellen, Jekyll Island Club and Resort. If you’ve cruised “The Ditch” you passed by. Now a great resort destination. We just spent three days and two nights here this week. Golf, food, history, fun. The Bar was featured in The Legend of Bagger Vance . Ellen, you’re up!

Considering I've got a 30 year old bottle with the same name as that on the roof of the building in the last picture, I would have guessed it - had I but checked on time....

Fran, not Keys but their is a resemblance. I guess the reason this candidate didn't get votes is because he campaigned in the wrong country. Here is one of his only campaign stops and it is in ? town?

Man on the Run is a old movie to me, but location? But this last picture suggests something more current than a black and white movie.

Ellen, a lot more current than a TCM movie and the first picture includes a date.

Fred, I bet if you ate at Choppy’s you had a great meal! A lot of folks are surprised by the quality of the food, but I’ll stay out of it, their getting real close.

Ellen, not that island. SXMFOX, spent a lot of time at Choppys since we were at the marina there a few days - great place. If you have pictures to post and want to name the location, go ahead and do so.

Anyone wanting to use Google, go ahead. While you are Googling, you may want to look up the candidate on the sign - bizarre. I think there was a Netflix episode and maybe a Dateline show.

Looks like some places I've gone fishing in FL, maybe along the Banana River or Indian River.

My first thought was the Cliffs in Negril. Hell, it's probably wrong anyway!
