Sounds like San Francisco. I’m a native, going back 3 generations. There have always been characters like him. You captured him gracefully in your story.

Wow. Fascinating. Reminds me of my comrade at music school who attended student recitals in order (it seemed) to stuff his pockets with whatever was on offer. He successfully auditioned for the Metropolitan Opera right out of school— so was obviously onto something!! Great story—Hoping your union man found his way…
