That's sad. Being from the Northeast US, the Old Man is a strong memory from childhood vacations to New Hampshire.

I'm glad I actually stopped to take a good look at him last fall.

Yes it is sad. It was one of the State's best features - that and the Kankamangus highway.

I hear they're working on plans to put up a replica in it's place.

Actually I see the "after" as an old man > yelling, or yawning?
