Big John

MAN 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.

Mississippi sighting - Big John

A tip on the tracking chart about an M-Man or big friend located near Memphis led my travel companion and I to this giant. He is located just south of Memphis, TN, literally just over the state line in Mississippi. He grins at travelers heading southbound on Rte. 61, dressed in a yellow shirt and blue pants. He stands in an empty lot near fireworks trailers holding a pole in his hands.

It's a Big John, the grocery clerk.
