  • my mom told me the elephant was actualy a restarunt

  • I took a tour here back in 07 and was really impressed. This is a neat area about 2 or 3 miles to the south there's a smiley face water tower which can be seen from Lucy the Elephant.

  • I remember seeing this when I was a kid on a family vacation to NJ. My mother told me that it had been a hotel, which, while being a popular story, is not true.

  • My boyfriend's father is a Margate fire fighter. He said he gets so many false calls to Lucy the Elephant.

  • how is this not more well known?

  • I go to school in Margate. <3

  • I have and Lucy tee-shirt. 50 years ago I found a nickel buried near Lucy's right leg.
