The 11' tall Santa with the waiving arm is back at Friendly Center. Actually, he has been back since late November, but he really draws attention the closer we get to Christmas. The fiber Santa Claus has been a Greensboro institution since 1959. Last year, local sculptor, Jim Gallucci reconditioned Santa and now he looks better than ever. If you are a realist, you will want to know that under Santa's belt are a lot of rivets holding him together. Indeed, the belt hides it well.
If you are out this weekend, look for this Santa. If you are looking for the "real" Santa, for a photo session, he will be at Friendly Shopping Center from 10am today to 8:00 p.m.
He looks fresh.
