However it seems like it's a different guy every day. I don't think I've ever seen the same person there more than once.

Used to be a guy on the Hwy 71 exit/Emanuel Meat Cleaver exit with a "please help" sign. Guy's a ****, but has an apartment, Midtown bars every night. Claims that because his sign doesn't say homeless, he's not deceiving anyone.

I used to live in the River Market and would see the same rotation on the I35/Broadway Bridge stop light. Looked like an Italian wedding with cash being handed out by dumbasses every time the light changed.
