Title: Mr Christies Wolf and Fox Sculptures??
Post by: Grant on December 01, 2009, 12:35:33 PM
The Mr Christie plant at LakeShore and ParkLawn seems to have a stuffed wolf (coyote)?? and fox either stuffed or a sculpture on their front lawn that they seem to move around the lawn as the whim takes them. What is going on here it seems really strange. Do not be fooled like me and jump out of your car to take photos. Does anybody know what is going on there?? It seems bad advertising in my books,

Grant,
ravynne is right. The animal sculptures are meant to discourage geese and gulls from the lawn. A good sanitation effort but not so good for public appearance.
