Geocache Description:

Please grab from the sidewalk. This dodo's still alive!!  Absolutely no vegetation is involved.  It's not in/on the newsrack either.


On my way to work in April of 2011, I noticed a homeless man leaning forward in an odd posture against a low block wall.  He was still there 10 hours later when I passed by on my way home.  Then day after day, week after week, I saw him in the same position at the same spot.  Pouring rain and blazing heat didn't stop him. He seemed to be there 24/7 because I saw him on weekends as well as very late at night.  As the weeks turned into months I decided that, when it was convenient, I'd walk up to him and ask him his story.  But before I did, one day in November, he was gone.  I kept looking every time I passed but he wasn't there.  Though he briefly made a 1 day appearance at the SE corner of Winnetka & Vanowen I haven't seen him since.  I hope that he's OK and found a better place.  In memorium, I've placed this cache at the spot he occupied for all those months.
