Stitched together Big John after Hurricane Ian.

Big John sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Ian in September of 2022. Sad. Hopefully they'll fix him up.

We've been in this parking lot numerous times and I've never paid attention, I guess -- because there he stands, large and in charge. Big John is holding up in the Florida sun pretty well. They've redone SE 47th Terrace Street, and that alone is a reason to go take your picture with Big John.

Eat at the Fish Tale seafood restaurant across the street from Big John -- it's great!
