so between my subway stop and home there's an empty lot grown over with weeds on the corner of 117 & Freddy D.
The past couple weeks I've noticed rogue fan parts thrown over the fence into the weeds. Window fans, oscilating fans, motors, blades, etc... all torn apart. The wierd thing was they were different every time i walked by... not just more... some had been picked out while new ones replaced the old..
The past week I've seen this man, presumably homeless, tinkering with this shit. always on the sidewalk with a small duffel bag of tools. one of his favorite past times is to crank open a fire hydrant and meticulously clean the fan parts, especially the grated frames. today i saw him messing with a motor with a pair of plyers. he's there every afternoon. Where are all these fans coming from? is he successfully repairing them or just being crazy? what's going on?
that crazy hobo!
thought I'd share-
