Looking Good, Leo! York Public Library recently made improvements to the flower bed around its popular wooden Lion, affectionately known as "Leo David Alexander, Duke of York." Thanks to a grant from Keep York County Beautiful, a small paved area was installed to surround the sculpture and bench, as well as blooming flowers, ornamental grasses, and leafy shrubs. |
