Anyone know who I mean? He could be seen cleaning streets all over but I used to see him around Boyden ave, meticulously cleaning. I think I remember reading about him in Weird NJ magazine? Anyone know? | ||

Yep. He's still rakin' up a storm. Saw him on Parker and also on Prospect within the last two weeks. RakeMan. | ||

He was on Essex Avenue the other day. He was in Wierd NJ a couple of issues ago. They called him 'The Mad Rakist'. (?) | ||

I've seen him on and around Parker a few times in recent weeks. Scully, did they picture him in Weird NJ? | ||

jab: Alas no. It was a couple of paragraph blurb from the front section. I'll see if I can get a copy from a daughter and print it here. | ||

I saw him (least I think it was him - walks with a limp, right?) a few days ago and he seems to have picked up a new obsession. He was picking up all of the ad flyers (in plastic bags) off people's yards. | ||

Does he toss them down the storm drains? Or do you think maybe this feeds another obsession: coupon clipping?  | ||

He's always done that, along with yard sale signs, open house signs etc all of which he shoves down the sewer at the corner of my property. | ||

Has anyone ever spoken to this man? | ||

I've asked him politely (on multiple occasions) not to rake things into our sewer and he just grunts, turns around and walks away. I know it drives him crazy (crazier?) to leave stuff on our corner after he's swept the other 3 corners but that's not my problem. | ||

Eliz, he probably just comes back after you've gone to sleep to finish your corner. I've heard that scratching against pavement noise late at night many times. A few times lately we haven't been able to find our newspaper. Do you think he's starting his day before we have a chance to pick up the newspaper from the sidewalk? Or should we stick with our theory that some high school kid is the culprit? |
