Even deshingled and disheveled, the A-frame at the Pier could not hide its iconic letters spelling out the town’s name, as if tattooed on the structure for all eternity. (© FlaglerLive) Every city great and small has its iconic signature: Seattle’s Needle, Rome’s Coliseum, Alliance’s Carhenge, Paris’s Eiffel and Palm Coast’s water tower (give it a break, it’s a city in progress). For Flagler Beach, it’s the Pier and its sharply angled A-frame, its two sides’ 12 white letters spelling out the town’s name to horizons north and south. Flagler Beach almost lost its identity in late March. The letters were gone, the shingles were gone, though like a tattoo to eternity the eye could still discern the letters’ imprint on the wood frame. The structure is getting its first re-shingling in 24 years, a $9,360 job carried out by Florida’s Best Roofing Inc., the Bunnell company.
