Martin the Bear, 2023.

Martin the Bear

Martin the Bear is still located at 828 MA-28, but he's not easy to see if just driving by without looking for him.

[Ty Randall, 08/23/2023]

Despite his updated colors, Martin remains disturbing when encountered. Even his painted-on name appears to have been scrawled by a maniac with issues.
