[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 The Compliment Man, Commander Salamander and zone taxi fares. Man, I went on some wild rides-- remember how they used to stop and pick up other fares?

I will add you hung out/played soft ball right in front of the White House

Also, I think you have to know how to navigate the city by bus, to be able to claim status, without using your phone.

Speaking of the Compliment Man, does anyone remember the guy who used to jog down the middle of downtown streets, while dancing/singing/shot?  He was a very fit black guy, who was like 60-70 years old.

Yes!  I remember him! How about: The older man who protested outside the Holy See on Mass Ave for years and years. WAPO ultimately did a story on him (he had been abused by a Priest, I believe in Poland)[/quote]

I am PP from above!  So glad that someone else remembers the joyful jogger. I used to hear him from my office running/dancing down 9th St and I would go and watch him.

And I very much remember the Mass Ave/Catholic Church protestor. I still look for him everytime I pass that corner. There was a profile done on him years ago about how he was sexually abused. I have to say--he was years ahead of his time as at at the time in trying to expose the Church. At the time, I had no idea how pervasive it was!
