I encountered this friendly-looking fellow while out and about in South Florida recently. Sitings have been rare in the past, but he’s wintering with us in a secure location. Can anyone identify the place? Please take a crack at it.
This shouldn’t be a hard one. But it’s the modest start to what I hope will be a recurring feature here (now that I got a camera for Christmas). I plan to spotlight some of our best/worst places, from treasures to eyesores.
And they don’t all have to come from me. In fact I’d prefer they didn’t.
Suggestions and photo entries are very much solicited. Each should say something beyond the image – be it a place of special or historic significance, an especially great block or street, or an egregious example of an urban ill or architectural insult. (And, unlike my example above, not too obvious.) All equally welcome!

Statue of ape-man in Fairchild Garden, part of their mythical beasts series. There is also Nessie and some red polka-dot hippos, you know, from that story.
