I was going to add the up against the wall vid but afraid it might get the wrong attention and then disappear.
There's a guy who, and I'm going back, I lived on the 2nd fl overlooking Mcdougal st in the village right at the corner of Bleeker. This is circa 1970. There was a fellow who would walk up and down mcdougal talking to himself. I would then walk along side him and do the same. Funny? I was having a coffee with someone at café reggio on mcdougal 2 years ago and this old man came walking by chattering to himself. It was him!
