"For 30 years Gregory Jacobs spent his days at Fisherman's Wharf hiding behind branches...

...David Johnson is known as the one and only bushman. He's been at longer, for 36 years".

I don't recall either, but then I've moved from SF since 1979, exactly 35 years to this very month.

It would amaze a few to know some of the street artists are millionaires. One old guy that did caricatures for decades bought up land there many years ago.
