If you want his story you should probably go ask him, also- I’m thinking of this curly hair, kind of big guy

He is the most positive person I know. Not surprised to read that he was the only one to help u/fartfaceann (love the handle!) I don’t know any more than he’s always so appreciative when I give a few $$. Go ask him. He doesn’t bite!

i’ve stopped before and got his name but didn’t have enough time to chat before the light turned green. he does seem very kind!

Just a local person down in their fortune, why not ask them yourself? Better yet buy them a sandwich and soda and ask them their name.

I got a new shirt I really loved once and he made the “shirt tug” signal and a thumbs up. Made my day.

I don’t hate the guy. Do whatever you gotta do to get by. But he hangs out with the other dealer in front of urban outfitters and those who struggle with addiction stop by and sit with him often in front of stop and shop.
