This hipster is the Muffler Man located at 3110 Williamson Road in Roanoke. I must have been drunk this day. I could not get a straight photo to save my life, or one without the side mirror. Anywho, for more info on the Muffler Man CLICK HERE Linking this with Signs, Signs
Yes, there is a fence there...the tippy top of a split rail! We were driving along one day in Salem when I noticed this kid out on his porch playing his guitar. So Nick knowing what was next (turn around, I want to get a picture) turned around and slowly crept passed him while I secretly snapped his picture from the window...by this time he probably had noticed us and was texting for help "help, some old lady is driving by slowly and taking my picture"... Linking this with Tex and her Good Fences meme.
It's impossible to miss the Muffler Man!
ReplyDeleteHe must be related to Paul Bunyan of Minnesota. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one huge dude! I do those incognito drive by shootings. It's kind of fun.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a much-loved front porch! And that guy is a little scary. I think I'd stay away from there. lol
ReplyDeleteyou're too funny. stalking giant muffler men and guitar-playing teens. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that porch picture! To bad you couldn't get it when he was playing the guitar may be next time, but try to drive a different car for next time :) That muffler man is big!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun . . yes, i see the split rail - I also see a place that looks like a good home . . . thank you for giving a happy start to my day.
ReplyDeleteHaha...so you spy on folks just like I do!
ReplyDeleteOh that made me lol Tanya, when I saw 'click to enlarge' followed by a very large Muffler Man :) Like the sneaky drive by shot, bet he was so engrossed on his phone he didn't see you :)
ReplyDeleteI used to search out Muffler Men in my travels then I found there are so many of them out there I quit and saved my efforts for more interesting oddities in America.
ReplyDeleteI sure need to get out there and find this Muffler Men statue, they are my kind of thing. Well statues anyway! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Muffler Man! Those kinds of signs/advertisements always get my attention.
ReplyDeleteOne thing far sure, the Muffler Man is an eye catcher. I love that house, looks homey..
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a Mr. Muffler Man..ha ha- he's huge! Good capture of the man on the porch..I am terrible at being incognito about getting photos..I am always caught in the act.. very embarrassing!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I'm loving your tipsy photos of the hipster! The story about taking the kid's photo cracked me up - I can soooo relate!
ReplyDeleteOh you made me laugh with your commentary. The Muffler Man is quite interesting but he should be holding a muffler in those hands. How funny about your taking the photo of the boy playing the guitar. Did you see all those potted plants on the porch too. Interesting scene.
ReplyDeleteYou stalker! lol I like interesting scenes like that too. I like the lattice work under the porch.
ReplyDeleteThe Muffler Man looks like Paul Bunyon. :-)
I remember when that place used to sell tires and the man held a tire in his hand, that was back 40 years ago or more.
ReplyDeleteI sure as heck have days like that when everything looks like it's going to slide into the Atlantic Ocean. Oh, well... Love that Muffler Man and the dude on the porch. Guess you got away with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!!! Because only minutes ago, we just drove past a girl who was playing her horn on the front steps!! Of course I did the same thing you did!! AND we both have red cars!
ReplyDeleteCool Muffler Man! I like the angled shots.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to be drunk to get slightly off photos, myself.
ReplyDeleteIt does remind me of Paul Bunyan.
ReplyDeleteLOL One has to look out for ladies armed with a camera! I like that cute yellow house, and it's even better with a musician enjoying his guitar.
ReplyDeleteGreat one of the big guy and I like your drive-by photo.
ReplyDeleteI thought of Paul Bunyan in Minnesota too when I first saw your Muffler Man picture. He looks a little creepy to me though!
ReplyDeleteFunny post! :-) I actually really like that guy's house.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great drive by! Did you ever see as many plants on one porch as there is on that one!!! That is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIn different attire he'd make a good lumberjack!
ReplyDeleteThe muffler Man brings back memories for me. I used to see them all the time when I was a kid. They usually had something in their hands like a golf club or a tire, a muffler etc. :-)
