6:00 and all is well . . .
I think Freddie does a good job of keeping watch over the Grove. What would be cool would be to put a microphone inside him or something and have people ask Freddie directions and information, while he can't point directions, he'd do a hell of a lot better than what we have now.
Example:
Lost tourist: "Freddie, where can I get internet access?"
Freddie: "Well, do you have your own computer? If so, try The Bookstore on the corner or Starbucks right behind me, they have free wifi service."
Lost tourist: "No, I need to rent time on a computer to check my email, I didn't bring a laptop with me."
Freddie: "Well then, try Oasis Café right down the block in the direction my nose is pointing, next to the pizza place."
I think talking Freddie would be a hit.

That would be awesome. But the technology to do that hasn't been perfected and is VERY expensive.
What would also be awesome is if the CocoWalk management would scrape off thoe bits of cotton on the head where the Santa hat was stolen some eight months ago. Oh wait, they're busy this month waiting for those bicycle racks to be installed.
That ugly stuff is actually seashells, not cotton. I hate it, too.
I think Grape should stand next to the flamingo dressed as a peacock and give directions.
Hasn't that kind of technology has already been invented. Has anyone ever been to Bush Gardens in Tampa? They have that stone that talks to people and squirts water at little kids. Couldn't it be set up with Freddie the same way? Attach a camera to him with live feed with someone sitting in a room answering all the questions tourists ask.
