Pink plastic flamingos fade from suburbia landscape
The piece tracks the dwindling sight of plastic flamingos in suburban yards and garden centers, noting retailer layoffs on the trend, owner attitudes, and a shift of flamingos from front to back yards amid changing tastes and economic factors. It records supplier output near 50 000 pairs, and cites stores like Fairfield Home and Garden and Johnny Jupiter, plus quotes from Lawnware Products and Union Products.
