BLVD Seafood, a popular Galveston restaurant, is appealing to the community for assistance in locating its beloved concrete mascot, Patricia the Pelican. The 3-foot statue went missing earlier this week, prompting a social media campaign to bring her home.
Patricia the Pelican, a three-foot concrete statue that vanished earlier this week, is the cherished emblem of a Galveston restaurant. The restaurant is currently on a mission to locate her. BLVD Seafood, situated along the island's breakwater, has utilized social media to garner support in the pursuit of Patricia.
The restaurant shared a sentimental note on its social media platforms: "Missing Pelican Alert!" If you have any information regarding its location, please contact us via message or phone at 409-762-2583. This avian has departed the nest, and we are all in a state of confusion without it. Assistance is requested in the return of our pelican companion.
Tabor Cobern, a representative from BLVD, described the statue, which is situated against a post at the restaurant's entrance, as being molded from concrete and featuring a black eye and yellow mandible. Patricia's appearance may appear unremarkable, but Cobern observed that she occupies a unique position in the affections of the restaurant's devoted patrons.
The restaurant is optimistic that Patricia will soon return to her rightful place, where she will greet guests and, with the assistance of the community, offer joy to all who visit BLVD Seafood.
