We can always count on Gazelle to bring us the strangest sightings on the SouthCoast to our show. Even with his hands full caring for a brand-new baby boy, Gazelle  continues to bring the content and contribute to our show.

Strange Legs Appear on Flag Swamp Road

His latest discovery might be one of the oddest yet, right up there with the abandoned pair of jeans he once tracked next to the Walgreens by the New Bedford octopus. This time, instead of a stinky, wet pair of pants, Gazelle stumbled upon the lower half of a mannequin.

The mannequin's torso, upper extremities and head were nowhere to be found. It was just a bare set of legs propped up against the guardrail on Flag Swamp Road in Dartmouth. According to Gazelle, these legs have been standing there since at least Sunday, and no one has stopped to move or dress them.

Someone Finally Gave Them Some Dignity

That changed today.

In the middle of a Nor’Easter, someone took the time to stop and offer the mannequin a little dignity. A kind soul gently slipped a pair of panties onto the otherwise bare mannequin legs. It was an act of decency appreciated not only by the forgotten plastic limbs, but by the countless drivers who pass by daily.

Cuecas to the Rescue

Thanks to this mystery Good Samaritan, Flag Swamp Road commuters no longer have to feel like awkward Peeping Toms. The once-bare mannequin is now properly dressed in a decent pair of cuecas, putting an exclamation point on what is currently Dartmouth’s oddest roadside attraction.
