Muffler Man - Bunyan Mutant

He is the Paul Bunyan type,behind the Kentucky Fried Chicken. I think the cross street is Louisiana. It could be Wyoming. Anyone in that city could find it. I'm sorry I didn't write down the exact spot. I was probably looking over my National Atomic Museum gifts. Where else would you find little milk chocolate Fat Man and Little Boy's made by retired Dept. of Energy workers? Tasty and tastefull!
