So what’s with the recent run on fiberglass town mascots? Norfolk, Virginia, has its mermaids. Cherokee, North Carolina, has its bears. Hendersonville, North Carolina, has its apples. And then there are the painted fire hydrants.

Not that I don’t appreciate artistic license, especially when it involves “Sequoyah Syllabeary,” but where will the phenomenon end? Does Tucson have fiberglass Saguaro cactuses?
Ready, bark, fire!
