🎙️ Sit With Kit: Ed Swift Edition 🏝️🚎 If you’ve lived in or visited Key West, you’ve definitely felt the impact of Ed Swift — the man behind Old Town Trolley, countless historic attractions across the country, and one of the biggest champions of affordable housing in the Keys. In this powerful new episode of Sit With Kit, we dive into: 🏠 Ed’s decades-long fight to build workforce housing in Key West 🚋 The birth of Historic Tours of America (now in 8 cities!) ☕ The Boston Tea Party Ships Museum (yes, he runs that!) 📈 Why the Navy’s housing policies could hold the key to solving our local crisis 🌍 Touring the U.S., lessons from St. Augustine, San Diego, and beyond 🍕 And of course… what kind of pizza Ed would be (thin crust, pepperoni, double cheese—extra crispy 🔥) At 78 years young, Ed’s not slowing down — he's still building, still pushing, and still caring about the future of our island. 🎥 Watch the full episode: [Insert YouTube Link] 📍 Filmed live in front of Angelina’s Pizza, every Thursday 6–9 PM. #SitWithKit #EdSwift #HistoricToursOfAmerica #KeyWestLegends #AffordableHousing #LocalVoices Sit With Kit is an original podcast featuring Kit Carson, the Earl of Pizza (aka The Pizzaman) and all the Key West characters he meets while sitting in his favorite spot in front of Angelina's Pizzeria, his pizza shop, located in the heart of Key West on the 200 Block of Duval Street in the Rick's Entertainment Complex.
