Spare Change Guy still around

on Beacon Street. That made two dollars this week, since he hit me up on the subway on Monday.

Some tourists' kids were freaking out as we walked up to him. I told them that he was a well known Boston celebrity who was often on TV. The tourist mommy said "They've led a sheltered life."

Anyone know what his diagnosis is? Some kind of mental illness, or what?

He does seem very unfortunate.
