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?
After reading Lisa Suhay's book There Goes a Mermaid! A Norfolk Tale, my boys and I set out on a quest to find all of the Norfolk Mermaids. Join us as we journey around the area in search of the Norfolk Mermaids.

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!
