   He can sometime be gound standing on the sidewalk and greeting passers-by out in front of one of the 50′s-themed “diners” on Powell near O’Farrell.

   I’ve seen him for the past 10-15 years downtown (recently in front of Lori’s on Powell.) I believe he lives in Pleasant Hill and commutes on BART, as I used to live there and saw him around a lot.

   He’s got a gig at Lori’s Diner. For years I thought he was some Tenderloin street performer with a gimmick, but he’s actually employed by the restaurant from what I understand.
