Bruce & Dan’s Smiley

Thursday, 9th February 2006 by James

This smiley was originally painted on the roof of Narrows Plaza Business Park by owner, Bruce, and his employee, Dan.

They originally painted the smiley back in 1994 as a joke for their pilot friends (plural!) but have recently been contacted by lots of Google Earth users wanting to know why the face is there.

More information in today’s News Tribune article, which also features a few words from yours truly.

Thanks: Jason Hagey & Kevin Freitas
