This giant metal man can be found outside Young Enterprises in Mount Airy. He's a little worse for wear, with an arm that looks like it's hanging on by a thread.

Debra Jane Seltzer over at RoadsideArchitecture.com says this sign is from the '50s and it was an advertisement for Big Man Shell Service gas station.

  1. I grew up in Mount Airy and remember Big Man Shell in the ‘70s. The big man “waved” and had a light in his hand.
