I consider this man a living landmark of Chinatown. He is always at that corner (if I remember correctly) of Washington and Grant yelling Happy, Happy, Happy (i think that's what he meant, unless it's a chinese word that sounded like happy) to everyone and no one in particular. He carries an anti-Bush (govt) sign that changes every month, I believe. I doubt if he knows what his signs say. But he is one of the most photographed landmarks (living or not) of Chinatown. After a very long time of hesitating, I acted like a tourist and took this photo. I felt great when some SF photobloggies also carry his photo in their blogs. I am not alone in thinking he deserves all the coverage he can get.
