Just got off the phone with Re-Giant and they will be rolling into town around 12:00PM. It will take a bit to get unloaded and the crane hooked up so the first giant probably won't be going vertical till 1:30 is our guess, but you may want to be on site just in case. Museum opens at 10:00 and Joel is in town with a load of new fiberglass figures that were setup late last night at both the museum and Giant Route 66 Stop across the street. Today is a great day to visit Atlanta, IL!

The LA times talks with owner Lee Woods in this new article on Muffler Men and the current Route 66 attractions that feature them.

First erected in the early 1960s as an advertising gimmick, these giants are rising again thanks to preservationists, kitsch aficionados and savvy entrepreneurs.
