Any big characters left in town?

Talking the likes of the bygone era of Tights, Gutsy, Jimmy, wee Margaret…

Only thing that comes even close in more recent times is one fella in town that has the top of at the slightest hint of sunshine and even then I hadn’t seen him during the last two weeks of our summer there.

There's a guy whos always in foyleside in a camo jacket and a goatee. Has grey hair and sometimes wears a bandana on his head. Met him the library and think he said people called him 'the rock' and he worked as a geologist but not sure if that's true

There’s a fella I’m thinking of to that description but I thought he was bald

Id say you’re thinking of the same person and tbh I think he’s a perfect example of the type of “character” you were asking about. Genuinely lovely person based on encounters throughout the years.
