Lake View, Mississippi - Big JohnCurrently Big John is being painted. Since he does not appear to be metal the primer and touch-up paint is grey and red. Big John stands in a truck parking lot and whether north or south bound you can access the parking lot to get up to see him. Have fun everybody. [Karen & Jim (St Louis), 09/02/2009]

Lake View, Mississippi - Big JohnMAN DOWN! We drove by this big guy and unfortunately he is no longer standing. In fact, he is lying down for a nap outside of a nondescript business off the side of the highway. We weren't sure quite why this guy was here to begin with, but were happy to see him nonetheless.
