Masked Being At Dunkin' Roswell
In October, Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins outfitted their 22-foot-tall alien welcome sign with a giant Covid-19 mask. The restaurant owners -- Amin Habib, Murad Fazal and Mejinder Bhambra -- had Clover Signs in Indiana fabricate and install the mask. Measuring 47 and 3/8 inches by 22 and 5/16 inches, the mask is made of a mesh fabric fitted to the dimensions of the alien's face.
Murad Fazal said "We hope our community can look at this landmark and know we stand beside them through this pandemic."
The 22-foot tall alien welcome sign -- the only one of its kind in the world -- was created for the restaurant's grand opening in 2019.

Pandemic Adventure 2020: We arrived in town around 5pm, so I don't know if the alien museums are open. The Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's are serving drive-thru, and their exterior alien features are easily accessible.
