Cape Coral's Big John.

Big John

We all know him as BIG JOHN, here in Cape Coral. He used to hold two grocery bags, but since the Big John Grocery Store went out of business, he has assumed many disguises. He was last seen dressed as a ghost, for Halloween. He is pictured here with Andrea and her friends, who were all told that he was a distant relative.
