Who knew I was being greeted by a local celebrity every morning?

Every morning as I walk up out of the Powell Street BART station, I walk up a few stairs and there is Steve. He says "Good Morning Pretty Lady".

When I first started working in the city in December, I too thought he was just another homeless person looking for handouts. Really, all he wants is a smile or hello. I made the mistake of ignoring him and he repeated his greeting and said 'I hope you have a better day'. Ever since they, I say hello.  And now, I just ran across this article. Good luck to him.
