I We Love Lucy

We are told that an elephant never forgets, but it is us who will never forget this elephant.

Lucy the Elephant is a six-story monstrosity of wood and tin sheeting located in Margate City, New Jersey. An early example of zoomorphic architecture, the structure was built in 1882 as a way to boost tourism.

This evening, she was the main attraction bringing seven of us—me, my aunt and my cousins, my mom, Beni, and Olivia—over the bridge to Margate City for dinner and a (big) show.
