He takes it upon himself to pick up the trash left by passers-by and those who frequent the chess tables in the circle, where he is a familiar face. With a trash grabber in one hand and a large trashcan in the other, he patrols the area near the tables, which are renowned for the caliber of games played there. He has been coming to the park, a busy urban hub, for more than two decades, but spends more time here now that he is homeless.
