LETTER: Rename it Flamingo Beach in honor of tropical visitors

To Ozaukee Press:

What a great treat last week as flamingos decided to visit Port Washington. Birders from the area are probably cursing  if they missed their chance to observe it. It is thought the flamingos were blown up here by the last hurricane to hit the Caribbean and Florida.

I am gonna call it here: South beach should now and ever after be called Flamingo Beach. What a great novelty for our tourism. Perhaps some talented person can build or carve one to display at the beach entrance.
