We Love Lucy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, Save Her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                           Recently, in my post on "The People Next Door," I spoke of how the quality of this 1968 work only highlights the decline of our culture.  Well, here comes another nail in culture's coffin!!!!!!!!!!!!



                            Since 1882, that is 143 years, Lucy, The Elephant, has been situated along 9200 Atlantic Avenue in the seashore town of Margate City, New Jersey.  She is as iconic as, well, Rutgers and New Brunswick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                              But with all the culture cuts, it seems $500, 000 is being cut from Lucy's fund, which aids in her upkeep, because a girl has to look glamorous.



                               What follows after that?  The eventual demolition of Lucy????????????



                               No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                               Write to your congressman, council members, anyone who will lend an eye or ear, to prevent the tragic destruction of this cherished icon.  Hey, Sally Hershberger, how about contributing some of your profits to Lucy's glamour????????????????



                                 Embarrassing as it may sound, I, a Jersey child, have never been to visit Lucy, but that shall be taken care of.  The way I understand it, one used to be able to go up inside Lucy, not unlike the Statue Of Liberty.  I wonder if that still applies??????????



                                     Regardless, Lucy must be preserved at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                      How much of this cancel culture can we stand???????????????



                                      Rally for Lucy, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We visited Lucy!! Many, MANY years ago. I remember there were narrow staircases in her legs, the main body was a small museum, and the top was an observation deck!!
From what I read, you can still get in, for just eight dollars!!
Lucy is indeed an icon; she’s older than the Statue of Liberty!!
I would be glad to make a donation to keep her in tip top condition!!!

Victoria, I am so happy you visited Lucy! I want to make a trek to Jersey to visit her this summer.
