The Drive in Launching Pad Restaurant is up for sale. I hope the Gemini Giant, remains the most photographed resident of Wilmington.
The name of the restaurant is on the rocket held by the spaceman.

"A fiberglass giant is outfitted for space travel, clutching a rocket far too small for his size. The burger-hot dog-ice cream Launching Pad Drive-In has served Route 66 since 1960." Text Source: (visit link)
