Town I grew up in just had the alcoholic lady that hung around the liquor store trying to get free booze that everyone knew not to take money from, give money to, or give booze to because she would get drunk and start fucking up shit. She seemed nice, but that's probably just because she was trying to score a drink.
My city has The Walker, a very gentle man who walks everywhere, has long chopped hair and at one point (maybe still) wore a Power Puff Girl keychain as a necklace. Some say his family was killed in a car accident, hence the walking. We also had "The Silver Fox" legendary "Mullet Man" who creeped around all the local bars but died relatively recently.
If he lost a kid who liked that show, that certainly would explain it. His story sounds so sad, if true, I can't imagine what that would be like...
We had a local street person who was nicknamed Aqualung who was a fixture here from the mid 70s to the mid 00s. Fan of the local minor league team, very private person. Was a rumor that Nick Nolte studied him to prep for a part once.
Here we call him "Mr AllNaked", an old guy that go on walk all naked in the nearby woods.
Yeah we had one like that , some kind of weird creepy drugged out "thing" , crazy looking person , sometimes half naked , sometimes looking like a bum , sometimes like a drag queen.
then i stopped seing him and after a while all of a sudden i see him on television all the time , transformed , it's David jeanmotte.
He's now well known in the country .
Guess he sucked off Elio Di Rupo , our gay prime minister at the time, who was living in the same neighborhood as us and who was easily approachable.

Wait, is this worth elaboration or am I better off not asking?
