Reader Spotlight: 'These Icons Are Hard to Find Anymore'

Thanks to Patch reader David, who posted this comment on who has stood atop a Starkey Road business for 25 years:

I always like seeing the Muffler Man on that roof when going through there. When I lived in Sanford we had an Art Grindle car dealership that had a huge statute of Art in one corner of the lot with it's mechanical arm caching your eye when passing by. These icons are hard to find anymore and it's a shame.
