Check out those trolley tracks! 🚋 Atlantic Avenue in Margate once had a trolley that ran all the way to Atlantic City! This photo isn’t dated, but from the shape of Lucy’s howdah, we know it was taken before 1929. ✨🐘

LOVE this early 1950s gem that was recently shared with us! Meet George Wenger from North Philly — looking effortlessly cool in front of Lucy, holding his son Joe during a family trip down the shore.

In an era of crew cuts and cardigans, George’s tattoos and style are pure rebel energy, decades before it was mainstream. Is anyone getting handsome Popeye vibes? 💪🐘

One of the earliest known photos of Lucy the Elephant, taken in the early 1880s. You can see the scaffolding still up as she gets her finishing touches, and a horse-drawn carriage passing by. What a sight she must have been then — and she’s still turning heads 140+ years later! ✨🐘
