The mystery of the older gentleman who would ride the Grant bus to Confusion Corner and then ride the Corydon bus for one block has been solved.
He hasn't been around for the last few weeks and today I heard a couple at the bus stop talking about him. It turns out he is 90 year old Harry-the-Baker who used to deliver bread around the city in a horse-drawn cart. He lives in an apartment across from Grant Park and everyday he would take the bus to his friend on Corydon and help him with his eyedrops. They would then have one shot, and one shot only, of whiskey, and then I guess Harry would go home.
I have no idea if the fellow at the bus stop this morning was telling the truth, but as it a friend says, "never let the truth get in the way of a good story".
interesting!
ReplyDeleteNow you need to talk to him yourself to find out for sure! What a neat story.
