Now a "gaming trading post." They put large "Magic" playing cards in Big Johnson's right hand.

While planning a trip to Prescott, Arizona in September of 2000, I ran across your site and added Johnson Realty to my list of places to see. On the drive down there from Colorado it occurred to me that if I used the proper angle and applied the rules of deep focus photography I could turn myself into a Muffler Man and pose next to Big Johnson.
[Dick Elliott, 08/23/2001]I grew up under the shadow of "Big Johnson," the cowboy guarding the precincts of Johnson Realty in Prescott, Arizona. I didn't know his hands were meant for holding a muffler-- I thought they were just mangled from a bad rodeo fall. He boasted a 10-gallon hat and a red Izod shirt to match the realty office.
