Vincent on the Bridge

Vincent is this eccentric fellow in downtown Chicago who has this little routine of standing on the State Street bridge and waving at the tourist boats as they pass underneath. He takes off his jacket, waves it overhead and does this little twirl as they pass by.

He only does this on the State Street bridge and only to boats traveling east.

I had gotten him on video once before but I had the camera pointed the wrong way. I got a good video of him yesterday, though.

  1. I think you only see this kind of thing in cities. If it happens out here in the suburbs, we're all driving to fast to notice.

    I do wonder what his story is.

  3. What a character! Looks to be dressing a bit more conservatively these days though.

    Those people walking by didn't even seem to notice. If someone did that around here, people would call the law.
