Miami Beach officials are replacing their collection of 29 lifeguard stands. In their place next year will be bright, whimsical designs by local architect William Lane.
Lane says the new designs will be inspired by six iconic stands he created in the '90s.
"There was a round one, a pink one over on Eighth Street and that one is being rebuilt. It was sort of Jetsonian," he says.
That’s right, it was inspired by the '60s cartoon -- The Jetsons.
Each lifeguard stand will cost between $30,000 and $50,000. They will make their grand debut in 2015, in time for the city’s 100th birthday.
