With the return of his set of eyes, Mr. Trash Wheel won't have to miss out on witnessing the installations, lights or musical acts at the Light City Baltimore festival.

Mr. Trash Wheel, a water wheel in the Inner Harbor overseen by Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore's Healthy Harbor Initiative, tweeted a photo Thursday boasting a set of googly eyes and the text, “Guys, don't freak out but ...”

In a post on the organization's Facebook page, Healthy Harbor wrote, “Mr. Trash Wheel is getting his eyes in preparation for next week's Light City event. Thanks to our friends Key Tech for giving Mr. Trash Wheel sight!”

The new eyes, constructed by Key Tech, are larger than the original ones — 5 feet in diameter — and made of aluminum, said Adam Lindquist, the Healthy Harbor Initiative's director.
