My New Joint holds 4/20 anniversary

The Square Grouper on Cudjoe Key celebrated the second anniversary of the upstairs lounge, My New Joint, on April 20. Owner Lynn Bell was thankful for everyone who came out to celebrate. “It’s a great place to bring your buds,” she said. There was a line 50 people long before the lounge opened at 4:20 p.m. to get in for the celebration.

My New Joint gets new DeYoung

The walls of the upstairs lounge, My New Joint, are filled with interesting fishing-inspired artwork. Mostly the creations of the talented artist Derek DeYoung, it was only fitting the outside wall would add to his list of accomplishments. His range of work goes from Yeti coolers and Buffs to Burton snowboards.

Owner Lynn Bell couldn’t be happier with the new mural. “Big shout out to Derek DeYoung for bringing his talents to my front wall space,” she said. “With the help of Janell DeYoung and Rob Kramarz, the job came out spectacular.”

“Derek’s art directly reflects his joy and enthusiasm for fishing and the outdoors. He studies his subject matter and gets inspired when he is in nature,” said Janell DeYoung, Derek’s wife.
