First the mayor, now the ambassador. Does Kenmore Square have any dignitaries left?

My friend and I tried to give him food sometimes in 2006-2009. He took the food once in a while, but usually said it was too disgusting to touch. He called us degenerates frequently.

I passed by this spot on my run this morning and wondered what had happened. I was wondering how I could find out more info and I thought, "It would be great if Universal Hub had an item on it." Thanks as always for your thorough coverage, Adam. Sad to hear about Melvin - I didn't interact with him personally but had seen him sleeping in that spot numerous times on previous runs.
