- Hot Springs, Arkansas - Muffler Men: Tow Truck Driver, Spock
Lee and his son were both so nice and knowledgeable about the Muffler Men. They have three complete men, over 40 gas station signs, original McDonald's Playland items, and a plethora of other artifacts. They have lots of things planned for the future that they are currently working on. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed this.

I visited Big Muddy on Easter Sunday and he was decked out with bunny ears and an Easter basket! When you turn in on the street between McDonald's and the Holiday Inn Express, at the stop sign turn right. There is a small circle drive where you can park and take a picture of Big Muddy.

This was one of my favorite stops in Hot Springs. Lee Woods has three giants (for now) and so much other cool stuff, like a Sinclair Dino, Mobile Pegasus, huge KFC bucket, McDonald's playground and a ton more. Super nice guy who loves nostalgia and enjoys sharing it.

Officer Big Mac play equipment is from the old days of McDonald's Play Places. It appears that the spinner and bouncy horses in this tiny public park may be from an old McDonald's Play Place as well, but I can't verify that.
[T Wilson, 02/08/2024]Kendrick is too tiny to have a McDonald's, so this playground equipment was trucked into town from someplace else.
Public Park Big Mac:- Address:
- 124 3rd St., Kendrick, OK

The McDonald's has been remodeled. The outside still sports Ronald on a horse with a calf next to it. The inside wagon attraction is no longer. Still neat to see!

The monster was reported to be screaming and covered in mud when last seen in 1973. Not wanting that as its civic symbol, Murphysboro chose a more dignified representation of Bigfoot for its nine-foot-tall statue.
