Day 7

July 13, 2014
Today we searched for more downtown mermaids.  We found several but also learned that several are either badly damaged, disassembled, or just plain missing.  The 2 mermaids at Waterside, "Low Tide" and "USS Wisconsin," are missing - their signs are there but they are not.  The mermaid inside the Norfolk World Trade Center is currently disassembled and not on display.  The mermaid at 355 W. Freemason at Shriver & Holland is gone - so is Shriver & Holland.  We did see:

 Charity at Blocker YMCA 312 Bute St. - in lobby

 Lola - found in median/park near 255 College Crossing

 Mei Madeline - found along water next to Pagoda

 Full Circle - this poor mermaid is badly in need of a makeover.  She is buried in shrubs, missing a hand, and her face is gone.  Sad :( Found at the BBT 500 E Main St.)

 Plated Mermaid - TCC Norfolk campus, 300 Granby St.

 Mermaid de Leche - another hard to see mermaid - in window of A Latte Cafe, 321 Granby St.  They have her in the window and behind lots of fliers.  The store was closed when we stopped by and this is about all I could get.
