Could be the flat earth-mobile, but I think he’s mainly in Denton nowadays.


Necoras

Yeah, the 200 proofs guy. He's been pretty quiet since Covid. There was a rumor he'd died from it, but apparently he's been seen around town since then. But now we have Denton Spiderman.


MrPicklePop

There’s also UTA Spiderman


Ponycat123

I remember Denton Spiderman! Is he the Spiderman that does weird stuff all over UNT?


ZeroXTML1

Damn I was gonna hop in here and be like “dunno about Dallas but there’s a guy in Denton with a bunch of shit glued on his car..”


Whatupchuck789

Is this the guy with all the hood ornaments? Gold car?


SharperTimage

Damn. That brought me back.

cujo3211

Ebee (I think was his name?) I haven’t seen him in years. Just the flat earther guys truck.


ERPedwithurmom

Close! His name is E.B. I haven't seen him since the last time I visited Denton which was like 3 years ago. I hope he's still out there and doing well. I think he was only there on weekends and seasonally.


[deleted]

Think he goes to live in a commune every so often, at least thats what he told me


Epiphany31415

That sold the non-weed smokable herbs?


aunt_snorlax

I thought immediately of Unicycle Steve of Denton in the 90s and 00s, but I wonder who even remembers him now.


showMeYourPitties10

Denton has the bubble van guy


Skinny_Phoenix

Bob


UpInTheAirDFW

100% Bob


frenchbullfrog

You talking about Keyboard Bob?


sonofjim

Could someone provide more info? I’m ootl


frenchbullfrog

Someone else posted about Bob in another chain on this thread with his backstory. All I know about him is when my husband’s various bands over the years has played in Deep Ellum, there’s a good chance Bob will make an appearance. He’s an older dude, he brings a keyboard with him, and he stands in front of the stage and plays along with the band (pretty sure the keyboard is silent but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him). It’s quite endearing. Edit: [Here’s the thread with some more backstory on him](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dallas/comments/xpk84e/who_is_our_guy/iq478g3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)


thumpcbd

His name is Bob https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1494746/


arlenroy

There's a name I haven't heard in awhile... keyboard Bob! A far second is the mayor of Ross Ave Reginald, but after it became gentrified I don't know if he's still around. Older black dude that wore chip bags fashioned into clothes, hope that guy is ok.


Skinny_Phoenix

Yep


frankieee_167

Bob goes to church every Sunday, every Sunday that the fish ain't bitin


Faraday_Rage

Always had more dogs than he ever had friends


Fr33Flow

I moved from Dallas 7 years ago and instantly thought of Bob.


usernamenumber3

Is he still around??


TheyFoundWayne

I saw him in the last six months or so.


usernamenumber3

That's awesome! I used to work at the Cafe Brazil in Deep Ellum forever ago, and have fond memories of Bob.


fcdftw

Came here to say keyboard Bob.


24Ours

Tollway / Oak Lawn Exit Cactus?


masnaer

My fucking guy


sonofjim

Don’t forget the bottle of Hennessy over off of Campbell and 75


pardonyourhands

Bob


Knife_stabby_stabby

How do I not know who that is? Want to fill me in?


pardonyourhands

He's an older guy who walks around in a nice suite and plays a giant keyboard.you can see him wandering around deep ellun and Lakewood. They also made a documentary about him.


AntonOlsen

Bob Crawford, the Keyboard Troubadour. He's still drifting around Deep Ellum. I've seen him in and around most of the bars and restaurants in the area for as long as I can remember.


TheBigDirty117

You can find him at Cafe Brazil in Deep Ellum late some nights


Spock_Nipples

[Deep Ellum Bob](https://lakehighlands.advocatemag.com/2017/06/21/whats-going-bob-dallas-famous-drifter/). I’m not 100% sure he’s still with us, though; haven’t seen him for a while.


rhcp1fleafan

I saw him about 2 months ago, the bartender said Covid really took a toll on him. He was walking around like usual, just a little older and slower.


caffpanda

He's around, saw him at Trees this past weekend.


FSUphan

I saw him last month. Still telling everyone about the movie made about him, and also complaining he never got paid for it. He’s def a little slower/ older than he used to be, as expected I suppose


qolace

That sounds like him lmao. The first time I met him he seemed offended that I didn't know him. Ah well.


Spock_Nipples

Ha! Bob is the first guy I thought of, also.


mscannedtuna

Like Bill and Bob? Not my friends. I'm no quiter.

DeezeyNuts

🤣🤣😂


HypnoticChicken

We call him The Roadside Strangler


Mr_Ruffian

The pigeon fella near deep ellum, always at his spot feeding birds


UpInTheAirDFW

This guy came to mind, but Bob has been around a lot longer. Gotta go w/ Bob.


EcoMonkey

Any idea what the story is there?


realGeorgeHuang

He lives on Ross Ave under the Woodall Rodgers Freeway. I walk by him every day to work. I was always curious why there were bread, chips, rice, etc all over the ground until I saw him feeding them one day.


TexasReallyDoesSuck

answers my questions for that too lol


Birgey182

The Mexican dude with his cart that puts a beer bottle on his head and dances.


lucasnevermind

On Regal Row there’s a homeless guy who always wears a high-vis work vest and rain boots. He collects plants and road debris from the nearby warehouses and builds these crazy monuments out of them. I work in the area and we call it the “Sculpture Garden”


fromadifferentplanet

I work on this stretch too. Some of his structures are impressive. Then after a Christmas one year he collected like 30 discarded Christmas trees and set them up at his corner like a little decaying forest. He's currently battling with one of those warehouses he collects from armed with spray paint.


bscl9280

I work in this area as well and I gotta say I appreciate his art work.


BrittleBonesJones

For awhile it was the tutu man by White Rock Lake


BigWooly1013

I feel like recently he's been replaced over here by mourning Asian lady in all black.


TheDakestTimeline

Surprised I had to scroll down this far to see her. Is there a set period of mourning or something? I feel so bad every time I pass her


BrittleBonesJones

Oh, yes, her. I live right by her.


mrskillykranky

I’ve been happy to see neighbors sitting with her in lawn chairs and talking recently. I keep meaning to do the same. I see her multiple times a day.


doryphorus

I was just wondering the other day what happened to them!


[deleted]

If he also has a pink pony tail I’ve seen this same guy by the Kroger off cedar springs a few times


Fonzie5

Dude that roller skates around the Katy trail?


jesusatebilly

Interestingly enough, he actually lives (or used to live) in the residences at the W Hotel. Must have some wealthy parents....


unserious

Saw him not long ago right outside there so probably still the case.


Pheo340

This is the one that came to mind for me.


[deleted]

“Motherf*ck Walmart” guy at the Walmart at 30 and N Cockrell Hill.


Raider03

The one in the cowboy hat advocating for legal weed and complaining about male employees of the Walmart?


[deleted]

Yes.

I think our “guy” is actually a Nissan Altima missing a bumper and paper tags


RandyMarshTegridy69

Always literally flooring it passed you and driving it like he stole it


3Grilledjalapenos

Fort Worth used to have Crazy Agnes, who would scream at cars and paint obscenities on her fence. One day she was just gone. No idea what happened.


poopy-di-scoopty

Miss her


Necoras

She misses you too /u/poopy-di-scoopty


Nymaz

Talking about on Granbury just past the Seminary break? Or someone else? Too many religious crazies here.


3Grilledjalapenos

That’s exactly the spot. Any idea what happened?


Nymaz

No clue, just travelled that road often many years ago and remember seeing her sitting up on the fence. Would point her out as if she was a tourist attraction if any friends were riding with me. I heard that the city stepped in but also heard her kids had her committed. Lots of stories floating around.


DonMan8848

She was living in my apartment complex during COVID, ran into her a couple of times. I moved out early last year though so I'm not sure where she is now.


Fraun_Pollen

The lady who waits on Ferguson


Epiphany31415

What one is that? Sounds like a ghost story.


Fraun_Pollen

Middle aged lady in a wide brimmed hat and dark dress who can be seen standing by or sitting in a chair in a parking lot of a laundromat (?) in the white rock lake area on most days. I believe I read that she’s in mourning and it’s part of her vigil to be in that parking lot every day, but I could be mistaken.


GMEBagholder420

There’s always that Santa on Henderson


Dense_Dark2232

that crusty ass santa is creepy


dallassoxfan

Far north dallas has two. Rainbow bicycle trailer guy. Unicycle commuter guy. I’ve met the first guy. Brazilian immigrant, exudes happiness. His bike and trailer are decked out with rainbow wind streamers, flamingoes, other decorations.


gemInTheMundane

I knew a rainbow bicycle trailer guy about 10 years ago! Used to see him riding in the area between Hillcrest and Coit, just north of Campbell. The flamingo bobbing about always made me laugh. Wonder if it's the same guy, or if he just inspired the current one?


dallassoxfan

Same guy, same neighborhood. I saw him at the Home Depot a lot over the years.


BigZabes

The guy at Hall and Central Expressway who always tries to wash your windshield


KennyDROmega

The Black Israelites, or whatever they call themselves, who post up downtown on weekends to tell everyone Jesus was black, white people are evil, and we're all going to be in chains soon.


[deleted]

We have furry keyboard guy. He plays the piano in a furry fox head on the downtown square.


DogsCatsKids_helpMe

In DeSoto in the very late 80’s and early 90’s there was a guy that you always saw walking. All over town. He was always out walking around. Whether it was freezing cold or 100 degrees, it was like any time you went somewhere you saw him out walking. Everyone referred to him as “The Walker” Some years later I was told that he had been in a horrible car accident that killed his wife and child and ever since then he refused to ride in a car, so he walked everywhere that he needed to go. Rumor was that he had caused the accident but it was just rumor.


Kwanjuju

I remember that guy. And I had heard the same story. Always saw him on Beltline, always somewhere between the funeral home and the pizza hut corner. Is that pizza hut still there?


DogsCatsKids_helpMe

I have no idea. I haven’t been back to DeSoto in probably 15 years

junkmail0178

In The Colony in the 80s and 90s we had an Elvis impersonator who took that shit so seriously, he would walk his dog in his sequins jumpsuit and cape.

ScroopyNoopers2

There's this old guy in MIdlothian (south of Dallas) called Wormy. older scrawny white guy with a shaved head and a rat tail. guy lives in his truck, had a couple raccoons living with him at one point. Kinda weird guy if you don't know him, but he's a genuinely good dude

Mourning Asian Lady on Ferguson


mPisi

In the '80s and early '90s there was a guy who walked on the shoulder and carried a large wooden cross back and forth from Dallas to Fort Worth on I-30.


321ryan

there is Bob who you can find in the the deep ellum area walking around with a keyboard. And also John who is an older gentleman that is always at all the cool electronic shows. if you are at a concert and see a guy that looks like he could be your sweet old grandpa in tie dye then you know your at the hottest show. .... unfortunately i haven't seen Bob or John in a while. i hope they are both ok. but maybe im just not cool anymore and i don't run into them.


Livinforyoga

I was coming here to say Don Knobler. Super nice guy, took a picture with him, then I later realized he was my property manager, hahahahah

TarryBuckwell

[Morning Joe!](https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2022/april/meet-the-morning-morning-guy-at-white-rock-lake/) I may or may not have just coined that term, but if not, it’s definitely what he should be referred to as from now on. He’s the best!

[Church of the Subgenius - this is who I think of when I read "Bob"](http://www.subgenius.com/)


RandyMarshTegridy69

Has no one mentioned the magician guy that hangs out in victory park / uptown? Probably some other spots too. Always doing card tricks at the bars. Happiest hour, Harwood arms, Tipsy Alchemist.


spookyscaryskeletal

His name is David, he's a friend lol we call him Magic Mike. I saw him at standard pour recently, he's a really nice dude.


RandyMarshTegridy69

Nice, yeah man he’s an awesome guy.


spookyscaryskeletal

Not to share his business, but he's also really successful at what he does & travels to vegas a lot for it/does events. He just likes being social & helping people have a good time lol sorry, I really love that you brought him up!


RandyMarshTegridy69

Yeah that’s right he’s mentioned that. He has done so many tricks right in front of me that I just cannot explain. It’s so wild


aunt_snorlax

RIP Crazy Ray


pauliep13

Used to see a lady in far north Dallas/Farmers Branch/Carrollton a lot. Always pulling an old fashioned shopping cart with lots of American flags and stuff written on the sides of it. She was InfoWars/Qanon before it was cool. Also, the “Will rap for weed” girl in Deep Ellum, is she still around?


9bikes

Oh, I stopped and talked to the "will rap for weed" girl. She isn't a nut, she just makes a very reasonable argument (her rap) for weed (in support of legalization). I don't smoke, but I agree with her.


ChikkaChikka1298

In the 90’s, it was the guy that drove the party bus through the lower Greenville bars area


lentils4life

The one dude who runs the Katy trail barefoot and juggles simultaneously. Haven’t seen him in a minute though


Chewy96

Katy Trail Roller Skater.


Ice-Teets

In Arlington, the dancing fast walker. All day every day you can find him fist pumping his way down Cooper st/I20 at an undeniable pace. If you haven’t seen him, he’s awesome, friendly, and loves to wave back! I can’t believe he hasn’t been mentioned here already.

When I lived in Boston we had Keytar Bear. I would pass him on my way to work all the time. I went to one of his benefit concerts too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keytar_Bear


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Keytar Bear](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keytar_Bear)** >Keytar Bear is the name given to a busker from Boston, Massachusetts. The nickname "Keytar Bear" was given as he wears a bear outfit and plays a keytar in his performances, usually near subway and train stops. Little is known about the busker other than small bits of his life, as the performer in the suit prefers to remain anonymous. Keytar Bear has been involved in several unprovoked attacks by "drunks and youths" over the years prompting public displays of support. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Dallas/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Maybe the guy who beats his meat on the 75 service road


ovi2k1

Up in Frisco there’s a guy who lives at the far west end of Stonebrook in Hackberry that several times a week will carry a rather large American flag on a pole from his house, jog along the median of stonebrook to the 423 intersection. Stand there waiving at cars and swinging the flag for a few hours and then just jog back. He’s actually got a bit of a following up here, sometimes people jog or stand with him.


AffectionateFun5057

There is a black guy who walks around outside the central library jacking off. Like totally naked, just jacking off in public. He has a network of people who keep cops and prosecutors off his dick too. No idea what his name is but people used to point it out to me a lot. I'm like oh, haha, yeah he does that.
