We also wanted to say thank you to the Mermaid Inn. It was our first stay at the motel and we could not have been happier. Clean, quiet, and an incredibly friendly owner. Next time you're in Long Beach and need a place to stay check out the Mermaid Inn at the north end of Long Beach.

The artist who created the amazing Jake stunt double also created one of the best hot rod show awards we've seen. Congratulations again to Mike for winning the award with his Desoto-powered 1942 Ford pickup.

Each year they hold a contest to crown the annual Bride of Jake. Here's a shot of the newest Mrs. Jake. They look like they'll be very happy together:-)
The one and only Jake the Alligator Man enjoying a moment of fresh air on his big day. As Jake ages his trips outside of his controlled environment become fewer and fewer so it's always fun to see him basking outside.
