If you have driven east on Beach Blvd, you probably have noticed an orange dinosaur lives nearby. Rex has been guarding this road for 46 years. Originally, he was the eighteenth hole and ball catcher for the Beach Blvd Gooney Golf. In 1999, after Gooney Golf was long gone, the property was sold. He received offers to move to Orlando, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington, London and Australia. Rex turned them all down and remained on Beach Blvd. He now guards a strip mall built on the property. In 2007, with the help of students from UNF, he got a face-lift and a makeover. Rex stands 20 feet tall and is made of metal framing, wire mesh, stucco and concrete. His eyes still light up and he now has fencing and lighting to keep him safe.
