If you live in south Tampa or drive North on Howard avenue at the intersection of Kennedy and Howard, you have seen this guy. He is doing what they call on the streets "flying a sign." In short, he is begging for money. He has been on this corner for over a year. That is ridiculous.
Hell, I remember last Christmas season he was wearing a Santa hat (What cedar chest did he pull that out of?)
He is out here all day long. he never misses a day. I know this for a fact because O never miss a day of work. If a guy can show up every day to do this, can he not hold a job? He is older then me, so I am sure he is getting a Social Security check. This must be his supplemental income plan.
His sign claims he is homeless, looking for work, hungry, and other things. None of this is true.
The Shell station on this corner has tried to get rid of him. He is aggressive with their customers. He ask for money and cigs. He won't leave people alone.
They have called the cops on this guy They do not want a permanent fixture in front of their store being this guy claiming to be a bum and in need of money.
HE IS NOT HOMELESS....HE LIVES IN A NICE APARTMENT IN SO HO...HE HAS A MAC IPHONE WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE ON HIS PLAN A(i know this for a fact..I'm a cab driver..I hear things).
He is running a scam. Plus, his is an asshole. He calls the Shell station and insults the people working there because they have had him tresspassed from the property.
He waves at people and smiles.he thinks he is being charming. I think he is high. I see this type of behaviour and mannerisms all day long as a cab driver.
There are real homeless people but he has a claim to the most lucrative corner in Tampa. This is wrong. I know for a fact construction and lawn service guys have offered him a job and he said he cannot work for ten bucks an hour. WTF!
Please Tampa...Stop giving this con man money.
