Every morning as I walk DD to daycare, I see the same man.
He has three grocery carts, piled as high as physics will allow, and a bundle buggy. He moves one of the carts half a block or so, then goes back for another one, and so on.
I assume he's homeless, as he's very scruffy and disheveled. But he also seems to be reasonably clean, so I wonder if he does have some place to stay at night, or some access to a shower at least.
He seems to be "all there" mentally - he always says hi, and sometimes we chat about the weather or whatever while I'm waiting for the stoplight.
What I'm really curious about, though, is that I always see him at the same time, on the same block, going in the same direction. I'm always there because I'm taking DD to day care, of course. But I really wonder about him. Does he have somewhere to go? And if he does, why does he drag all his stuff with him every time? Or if he is homeless and wandering, why does he keep such a strict routine about it?
He seems like such a nice man. I wonder what his story is, and what led him to be walking east on St Clair every morning at 8:00 with three grocery carts and a bundle buggy.
