i've only known one homeless guy by name, and it wasn't pete. this was a few years ago, and it's driving me crazy but i can't remember what the hell his name actually was. i want to say dave, but i'm not terribly confident about that. definitely not pete though.
it was definitely not any form of pete. dammit, this is going to drive me crazy until i figure it out now.
the homeless around me is named mike i dont know his real name but ever since i can remember i've always known him as mike oh!and his "brother" is dave...not sure if that's his real name or if they are brothers :tongue:
i don't live in the same town anymore... i knew him back in 2006-07, and even by the end of that period i wasn't seeing him very often. he used to pretty much live either in front or in back of the pizza place i was managing at the time, but by the end he would only make occasional appearances. optimistically, i hope he found something better for himself, but realistically, he's probably dead, or at least really deep into his addictions.
We had Popbottle Pete for the longest time until he died. He would ride his bike all over town in a yellow rain slicker year-round. Word on the street was that he was not actually homeless, but wealthy and eccentric.
