Long Description:I suddenly had an idea for a group of waymarks centered around Lucy. I remembered I recently took scads of pictures so I checked and lo and behold, Lucy gave birth to a Lucky 7!
I found this on the web. I recommend reading the article after this excerpt:
"A national historic site as well as a unique example of the eccentric architecture of the late Victorian age, Lucy the Elephant is arguably the most beloved tourist attraction in the Atlantic City area. Located in the neighboring town of Margate, the 119-year-old elephant-shaped building has come to the brink of demoliton several times, only to be saved by outpourings of public protest and grass-roots fund-raising fervor."
