“Dear PoPville,
Was wondering if anyone has seen the presumably unhoused guy who tells everyone to have a good day outside of Trader Joe’s on 14th lately? He’s always there, and the crate he sits on is still there, but I haven’t seen him in a few weeks (though i usually go by at 8am). Hoping he’s okay.”
