I was in Toronto a few weeks ago, in the heart of the Kensington hood: Rooftop view from cousin's funhouse:
After drinking copiously into the wee hours with a variety of townies, folksies, roughnecks and playas, there was but a few of us blazing herb on the rooftop. I heard some footsteps on the ledge behind and above me.
I look up and snapped this quick pic of some dude who apparently lives on the roof top. Police don't bother this guy according to the locals. He wears a hoody year round and carries a briefcase. They say he lives in a small attic-type shack and keeps pigeons as pets. He came about this far but said nothing. We asked him if he wanted to hit the spliff but he just kept silent and then walked away.
Is this the real Ghost Dog?

These loners, eccentrics, dharma bums, street kings, rural legends, and what have yous - tie our communities together. I for one, am going to tell their stories.

Hey, it was great seeing you when you finally came to Toronto. I'm so glad you gave me a call. We should do it again soon.
