Dr. Blue Ridge is in great condition. I love the fact that the office has left the area at the base as pea gravel so you can get as close as you want.

The Muffler Man is now a toothbrush man!
[Yvette Pryor, 09/08/2021]
I was delighted to spot my first new Muffler Man (to me) in over 20 years today, while traveling into the North Georgia Mountains. Doubly delighted to find that he used to be Mr. Bendo, who I remember from when I used to hunt down Muffler Men in the late '90s. As Dr. Blue Ridge, his toothbrush is now proudly held aloft in his right hand.

Mr. Hobby has been renamed "Dr. Blue Ridge" now. Not sure he makes a good doctor.
[EC, 06/11/2020]Holding a giant toothbrush -- a giant among dentists?
Free Time Hobbies has sold their building, along with Mr. Hobby, to a dental business. Presumably Mr. Hobby's hand-held P-51 model airplane will be replaced by.... a toothbrush?
