Alfred E. Neuman maintains his vigil over a now-empty garage next to a local used car dealership. He's looking a little worn and needs a paint job, but considering the hurricanes he's been through recently, he's in pretty good shape.

He's still here, as he has been for all of my 44 years. Ken's Muffler Shop is no more. The business is now "Drive Away Motors," and I fear for the Muffler Man's future.

Still looking happy -- and actually holding a muffler.
[Roger Sleight, 12/31/2014]
Looks like he's been freshly painted again!
[Bonnie Labdi, 05/10/2012]He is in good shape, even after two hurricanes back to back. It is just a long block off the interstate and easy to get back on the freeway.
