Shell shock! Lost turtles return to La Plaza Cultural

Back in May, Wilson and Gator, two of the resident turtles at La Plaza Cultural, went missing.

In a bit of welcome news (for once), the turtles have been found... new signage up notes that the two are awaiting reintroduction to the pond here on the southwest corner of Avenue C and Ninth Street...

Moving forward, there will be a turtle barrier around the water in the community garden to allow for "safe basking."

No word on how far away Wilson and Gator got.

    Oh dear god, please update this story! My attention and curiosity are now laser-focused on how these guys got out and where they went for two months.
