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!

We found that Palace Princess Beatrice has moved to Llewellyn Ave. in between 22nd and 23rd St.:

We FINALLY found Lady Anne in a roundabout in Colonial Cir.:

And, we finally found the Max & Irma's mermaid from MacArthur Mall.  She has been redone and is now inside the Office Furniture Outlet at 5595 Raby Rd.:

We also checked in with the Norfolk Karate Academy.  We had heard they might have a mermaid, but they said they did not.

Finally, Kaleidoscope at Norfolk Scope was not on her post today.  Perhaps she is being redone???

Ok, so this is not an official mermaid...but she is still a mermaid...We found this one at Norfolk Botanical Gardens for their "Dominion Garden of Lights 2015."

Day 30

July 9, 2015

Today we had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful people of Susan G. Komen Tidewater.  They invited us in to meet their two beautiful mermaids, Susie and Asha, both breast cancer awareness mermaids.  They were all so welcoming and kind and even had gift bags prepared for the boys!  To top off the visit, we got to meet the amazing Georgia Mason, the talented artist behind many of the Norfolk mermaids, including the two from today.  Georgia is as lovely as her mermaids and we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to speak with her.  Thanks everyone!

 "Susie" - Susie the traveling mermaid even has her own twitter page!

"Asha" - a smaller mermaid that also travels to raise awareness for breast cancer
