Since 1887, Lawrence the Indian has stoically presided over a tiny traffic Circle in the heart of the Schenectady Stockade Historic District. Despite his quiet personality, Lawrence has earned many admirers. For more than three decades, he has in fact inspired loyal devotion from a special flock of pink plastic flamingos, who show their affection annually with a colorful Valentine’s Day visit. We’ve memorialized their visits at this website since 2010, with postings listed in the archive of our Valentine Flamingos Category.
The tradition continued for Valentine’s Day 2026, with the flamboyance arriving late on February 13 and staying until dark on the 14th. This slideshow has two dozen photos from today’s Valentine party in Lawrence Circle, including the images above.
