A band of Gypsy's. When all else fails give the readers crazy people.

Sadly I was unable to get the needed pictures to complete a special Suburban blight post. However, I've been saving these two videos for just such an occasion. They are short, no sound, and poor quality, but they are gems just the same. I was lucky enough a couple weeks ago to come upon this band of truly strange people while walking the dogs at the park on the east side of the Plaza. Watch closely and you will see the guy seated in a lawn chair, a woman rubbing his arm. This must be the head honcho of this group of traveling wack jobs. I watched them for a good 20 minutes, the women in the group kept coming up to him, rubbing his back, always taking a submissive posture, head down in seeming deference . The scrawny kid in the blue and yellow genie britches was the most entertaining of the bunch. He was hard to catch on camera because he wouldn't stand still. He was grinding his jaws, twitching all over the place, and had this glassy eyed manic look on his face, I'm guessing he was higher than Cooter Brown, probably on X, but who knows, maybe he was just crazy.

Fun was had by all, it was especially entertaining when Mr. Fancy Pants would start trying to play with some of the kids watching. The parents would recoil in horror and snatch their little one away and flee the area. Everyone have a safe weekend, and I give you my word, at least one more epic Urban Blight post will be awaiting you on Tuesday.
