The fiberglass "muffler man" from the 1960s was moved to a new location in Wilmington, not far from the old location on Baltimore Street. Close to the giant was a standalone two-car garage that had Route 66-related artwork painted on three sides. A large screen displayed town events, weather, and time, and Route 66-related information.
Across the street is a family restaurant that has been there since 1991. The person working there told me their business had increased since the giant was moved to their location, but they have not noticed much business this year due to the cold weather. He was very nice to fill my coffee for free.
