Flossy Fountain.

Flossy's Fountain

It's in the Mizner Park shopping area, at the beginning of the street if you follow directions to enter. Lovely shopping area with gazebos and benches and upscale shops and dining, which is worth the visit. Flossy was a philanthropist and star of the first talk show.

[Carol, 09/03/2020]

Florence Keesely lived to be 101, and funded and dedicated the fountain to her much-younger self when she was 90. The dog at her feet is her Yorkshire Terrier, Schatzi.
