I remember him very well; talked to him every day to and from school as a kid until he passed. I miss him.<br /><br />About the guy by the bus shelter...I've never seen anyone give him money! Wow. I am quite surprised to hear that people actually turn back around. But good for him. I always describe him as "the guy who asks for money right AFTER you've passed him."drorithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452029197941181321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70290893572177173972010-08-17T15:21:48.307-04:002010-08-17T15:21:48.307-04:00The stooped-over guy also used to have a woman who...The stooped-over guy also used to have a woman who would come over to him every so often. I haven't seen her in a while, but she would come over and get the money from him, then go into a bodega or something. I got the impression she is the person he lives with.WBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-78904177699862273772010-08-17T14:48:43.937-04:002010-08-17T14:48:43.937-04:00He's not been the most friendly, so it's h...He's not been the most friendly, so it's hard to get his story. But I'm often in Mary O's across the street from him and he has one of the highest conversion rates I've ever seen. People constantly turn back and give him money, fives and tens sometimes. I've seen him get on the bus after a few hours there. Someone I know saw him go into an apartment several times, so he has a place to live/stay.RyanAvenueAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6774217618524824602010-08-17T14:01:25.800-04:002010-08-17T14:01:25.800-04:00Does anyone know anything about the guy that is al...Does anyone know anything about the guy that is always stooped over and tells you you're cheap when you don't give him any money? He's usually outside the bus stop near 2nd and Avenue A.Erin Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703494244318551791noreply@blogger.com
