Eyeglasses Indian

I saw this for the first time in late May 2025. It's no longer sporting the "Eye Can See Now" sign. Without knowing that the building was previously an eye clinic, it's hard to make sense of the Indian's bulging eyes and glasses. Apparently the original store was a cigar shop.

Eye Care Muffler Man Indian

This is now a dental office, not an eye care place.

New business, yep. The Muffler Man Indian still wears glasses and has bulging ping pong ball eyes.

Eye Can See Now - Muffler Man Indian

A very buff giant stands atop the Midwest Eye Clinic at 6254 S. Pulaski Road, Chicago. Is he giving the sign of peace or halting traffic?
