Residents
of Woodstock, Georgia, have set up a memorial along a highway where Bob
the Turkey, the town’s unofficial mascot, lived and died. Bob was hit
by a car and killed Sunday near the intersection where he lived. He just
“showed up out of nowhere and people started seeing him all the time”
about a year ago, City Clerk Rhonda Pezzello said. “He became an icon,”
she added. Bob was buried near the city limit sign and people have
flocked to the area to set up a makeshift memorial with flowers. Some
residents want to see the area turned into a park. Pezzello said there
are no plans for a park, but a permanent plaque in the shape of a turkey
will be erected at the burial site. Bob was given a Thanksgiving pardon
from Mayor Donnie Henriques last November.
