I think he was the same guy that was sitting on a porch near church and gerrard yelling "nooooooooooooooooo" at the top of his lungs.

The goverment closes many of those much needed care facilies for the "mentally troubled" back in the 90's and basically threw many of these people out on the street, and when their meds run out it's not pretty...

Cabbagetown is full of 'em too. I loved sitting on my porch and watching the regular entertainment.

Mr. Bum Face. This guy in Cabbagetown who asks everyone for a smoke. And his face is all squinched up. I remember one time (in band camp) we threw a finished cigarette on the street, and he came by just in time to grab it.

I'll never forget his face all squinched up taking a drag, his swollen, drooling lips endclosing around it.

Mr. Bum Face.

These are the exact reasons I will never live downtown, there are just way too many creepy weirdos for my liking.

So who is your favorite neighbourhood crazy?

I have 2:

Firstly I have my beloved Jamaican Church Lady. Who will stand at the corner of Oakwood and St. Clair for hours on end preachin' the words of the hAlmighty one. Now what makes her special is that no matter what the weather; 30 above or 30 below. She will always have the same gear on. At least she dresses warm with full touque, scarf and winter jacket. My firend loves her too as almost everyday she walks by his house, turns to face it, raises her bible and shouts religious obcentities at his house. I tell him she knows he is going to hell... then he cries.

Secondly I would like to give props to the man I call Squilly! Now Squilly may be the most known crazy in the city and if you've riden the TTC on a regular basis in your lifetime you've met him too. Squilly, a middle aged man with what I guess is Tourrettes rides the TTC for a living. He seems to know everybody as he will ask any of his friends on the bus who has ANYTHING: coffee, pop, chips, cigarettes, chocolate bar, candy... yes ANYTHING. "can I have a sip?" he shouts as the unsuspecting traveller looks up at him in shock. I sit in the back chuckiling to myself sipping my coffee just waiting for him to ask me. He asks, I offer... to pour it into his hands... he accepts my kind offer. I pour. Squilly I love you.

Anyone have any to share?

And for the politcally minded: What should we do as a society to help these people?

You're a f*kin' genius!! ahahaha, honestly, we must hang out at some point once again.
as to my neighbourhood, it's fairly good. almost tooo good. some of the stories I hear about other people's areas are just so hard to believe, Ive been living here long enough, we always have neighbourhood family BBQ's and all that jazz in the summertime, no one complains about noise.. it's been a good ride thus far!
