Day 36

Oct. 12, 2019

We found the new home of Techno Mermaid - 1000 Granby St. in Norfolk.

Sadly, we looked for Flight at 355 W. Freemason St. only to find the lot empty.  Upon a bit of research, we discovered there was a fire at the location a few years ago.  Her pole still stands there, but it is now empty.   Anyone know where she might be now?

Day 35

Oct. 5, 2019

**REVISED** Found a "new" mermaid at Nauticus today.  Meet the new Princess Azalea with her brand new look -  repaired by the staff at Nauticus (tip of the hat to Don Sippel) and repainted by artist Aimee Bruce.


Check out this video on her makeover:

News & Updates:
Kaleidoscope was taken down when the new sign at Norfolk Scope/Chrysler Hall went up. She is currently in storage, awaiting repair.

The mermaid that was temporarily at the Slover Library was a gift of the Norfolk Sister Cities to Kochi, India. If you go to the interactive mermaid map (which is constantly being updated), you can see a picture of her if you zoom out far enough to see the entire globe. https://www.norfolk.gov/1962/Mermaid-Interactive-Spotting-Map.

Techno mermaid is back in Norfolk - I will seek her out this weekend!  Check back soon for updates!

Also, want to check on Flight.  I have never been able to find her but I will try again this weekend.

And a new to me one as well - check back soon!

*Thanks to the Norfolk Arts Commission for these updates!
