The Flying Elephant

It took a while, but after three hours of securing the elephant for the lift and six months of restoration work and waiting, the Aurora Rents elephant flew back into its proper place, perched out front of the 47 year-old Aurora-based rental store chain shortly before noon this morning.

Well done, Aurora Rents!

Very Cool ~
How fitting is this restoration! The Elephant was built during the Great Depression and has been restored during a (great) recession!

I grew up about a mile from this icon, near 97th and Dayton. How neat that it is still there (back again) and in restored condition. I hadn't known it was gone as I live in AZ now.

Thanks Aurora Rents! Saving Seattle one large step at a time...

I remember the florist shop - the owners also had a neat black long-haired cat...
