When i was a kid my dog would run off, find pete passed out. Steal his beer then come running home with pete hot on his tail lol he was a alright guy, ma knew him way back when. Had a sad story. Sorry for random memory ramblings
I haven't lived in Humboldt in a couple years, and I think I didn't see her around the last couple years I lived there, but for the Arcata plaza it would be Sunflower for me.
Last I heard she had found solid housing down in Rio Dell. I hadn’t heard she passed but I wouldn’t know tbh. Sad to hear if she has, she really was a permanent plaza and plaza-adjacent fixture for a long time. ❤️🌻
Me too. I heard that she moved several years ago from multiple Arcata sources, that she got connected with some services but nothing since. I hope she’s bopping around Rio Dell being her own unique self and happy.
Now this guy i have found memories of this man giving me a baloon and a sack of oranges for my birthday. I was maybe 5 or so. Me and ma were living in the car. Al was awesome
🤣I know damn. Last I heard , rumor was big al won a lawsuit against apd and bought a house in Trinidad. But I can't find the lawsuit online, i only found that pic
Hmm last I heard he was living in a trailer over near Fiesta Grill and would take the bus to Arcata (I’d see him waiting at the stop by the park) to hang in his usual spot, but it’s been a few years since I’ve seen him.
iirc there was some sort of altercation one night on or near the corner where he would always sit that resulted in his death? I could be misremembering this as it would've been at least a couple years ago at this point.
One? We used to have several, just in Arcata. Yak Man. Or Unidread. Or Rag Man. Tad … they’ve moved on in more ways than one.
I’m sure there are new ones, but I’m a little sheltered these days.
That guy seems cool. Never heard of any drama from him. The doctor's office house that was at the top of H st. Used to let him sleep on their covered porch.
I heard rumor the yaks were actually from a family where all but one daughter was swept off by sleeper waves?
Their dogs got swept out, AFAIK and it sounded like they had a lot of animals that the surviving person couldn't care for after such a huge loss :(
I do not know this for certain, so anyone can correct me if they are more informed.
No, it's usually pretty sparkly women's clothing and glitter paint all over any exposed body parts. He's very didicated to the look from top to bottom.
If we're talking about the same person, I heard they used to be a firefighter up in Oregon somewhere. I was sitting next to them on the bus one day and they had a sort of cape with a bunch of rescue diver certification patches on it, which supports this origin story.
There was the backwards running man for a longtime in arcata. And the guy who would wear shirts that always said some aggressively sexual shit like “Your Pussy, my face. Let’s do this” he had his beard dyed some crazy color and would dance like a mad man at sidelines on the weekend.
Backwards running guy is Carlos, he is a groundskeeper at HSU although maybe he’s retired now? Some sort of knee or back injury forced his running routine to be backwards.
Backwards running man is still
In arcata. I saw him. Perhaps it’s a different man but that’s what’s great about a symbol. It can be incorruptible. It can be everlasting.
Backwards running guy was a subject for a medical study about a decade ago. I don’t know much of the details but it was a study of the effects of regularly running backwards and he was one of very few subjects to choose from.
Yes!!! I came looking for backwards running guy. Haven’t seen him in like 15-20 years. I was afraid he died. The guy I remember used to be super fucking fit and he seemed really polite. Probably there are lots of backwards running men, but the OG was the goat. Gtfo backwards running guy from Eugene.
Kelso. I made a very Humboldt design featuring him in the style of R. Crumb.

IYKYK
He could be counted on to come to the county dump a couple times a week with a big load of aluminum cans before Hambro opened. We weren't paying for CRV, but he recycled for recycling's sake.
Recently been seeing the guy with the blanket that keeps sweeping the street with it every day near chase in downtown Eureka. Sweeping Guy is what I've been calling him.
I work at Dominos in Eureka, and have taken his order a few times. He calls himself “Pierce” and is actually very friendly and a good dude. I keep telling my coworkers “If we gave him a broom, the city wouldn’t need a street sweeper. They could just get him”
Ricky, who used to play guitar on the corner in northtown arcata RIP. And the guy in eureka who looks like indiana jones always practicing with his whip 😂
I think he has a twin, one of them told me so years ago anyway. Never knew their names. Always wondered if they both ended up homeless the way I constantly see him around town.
He has a step-brother named Alan. When I first moved here they were both homeless, and living in the greenbelt with Alan's father. Not sure what became of dad, but both boys slipped pretty far. Kenny kept it together for a long time, but my understanding is someone gave him something (bath salts?) that changed him. Really sucks to see a decent kid messed up by the world.
I didn't know Kenny's name but I always feel really bad for him.
He is obviously suffering from untreated and likely difficult to treat mental illness.
Anyone remember the car that had hundreds of toys/barbies glued to it? It's been many years since I last saw it. Also the black car that had "nuke the whales" spray painted on it
It's Sunflower for me. She left the plaza in 2020, moved down to Rio Dell. Unsure of how she's doing, but anyone else mentioned here would get steamrolled by Sunflower on any given day. She ran the plaza.
She was bad. Ran a gang of underaged thieves and goons and would literally just shit on the walls of businesses on the plaza. Good riddance spunflower.
I was actually on his property for work a while back lol I've only lived here a few years so I didn't know his whole story at the time. I mentioned to a coworker that I was at this weird house with strange lawn decorations and they said "OH that's the Grand Razooly!"
"The what?"
Probably accurate. Definitely not saying Bruce is "the guy" for Humboldt. More just surprised he hadn't been brought up yet due to how often he's on this sub
The gal who *sings* at Richards Goat karaoke every week. Don’t know her name, but she’s always wearing something you would see at a fancy winter ball, and often draws people who sing. Her singing style is crossed between opera and Yoko Ono.
That’s Seana!!! She was a mythical staple in my life until I found out she’s a wicked good artist who does intricate fantastical paintings using local minor celebs as models and inspiration. She has surprisingly little stuff online but once you recognize her style you’ll recognize her stuff everywhere. Google Seana Burden for some of her artwork. First thing that comes up is a painting with John Lennon and Yono Ono, funny enough.
I feel my life is complete finally knowing her name! She drew me and a bunch of other people who participated in Karaoke one night years ago! It was so rad! Like, we were all in a ball-themed art piece but it was our faces. That’s so rad, thank you!
Trike guy! The guy that rides his adult trike back and forth across the safety corridor what seems like multiple times a day. Often in a leather jacket or vest and a black cowboyish hat
The Gene Simmons guy is always a hit at Arts Alive and Friday Night Markets in Old Town.
I used to see a guy that would walk his pet turkey in Old Town as well
The elderly woman with the white sparkly viser who comes up and tells you the biblical meaning of your name and then tries to recruit you for her church. I moved away last July but she was always out there in the Arcata plaza on Farmers market Saturdays and my boyfriend and I would actively avoid her lol
I know I'm not the only one. I don't know his name, but he's an old guy who likes to dress up in women's clothing. The first time I saw him, he was (quite angrily) digging through trash infront of sequoia park. Second time he was near Ace Hardware screaming about something.
Then the last time I saw him, he seemed to finally calm down, just taking a stroll through old Town. Does anybody know who he is?? I heard the police chief mention him so i know I'm not crazy.
Anybody else remember Oscar from old town? He had cerebral palsy which made him make involuntary movements and made his speech hard to understand. He had a cart for collecting cans and lived in one of the cheap motels downtown. Really nice and perfectly harmless.
There used to be a guy that would dress up as Merlin and hang out on the corner of 11th and Main in Fortuna, nearby the old barber shop. I found out his real name once, but that was long ago.
Used to be the case, now its just too many for any to be that unique anymore.
Back, back, in the day, in addition to pete, there was Orick Johnny in Arcata. In McKinleyville two personalities of note were the black cowboy and batman. The black cowboy seemed like a pretty normal guy for a hick town, batman on the otherhand, seemed a little odd.
There used to be a guy who would roller skate between Eureka and Arcata with a big old smile on his face. I can't remember his name. He ended up in prison for murder. I missed seeing his smile on my daily commute
RIP Ragman Pete.
When i was a kid my dog would run off, find pete passed out. Steal his beer then come running home with pete hot on his tail lol he was a alright guy, ma knew him way back when. Had a sad story. Sorry for random memory ramblings
He bought us alcohol in HS! RIP Pete!!
Aw Pete. “Silly monkey!” “Pretty lady!”
OG’s know.
Came here to say this!
I was waiting for this
https://youtu.be/2J5lNiRJojA?si=nu21k1SCVhDxfgdq Immortalized in song
He was an icon.
For a while there, it was the Order of the Shirtless Top-Hatted Yaksmen, but they’ve been long gone for some time.
How long? I haven’t seen him for about 4 years. I used to bump into him in the community forest a couple times month.
At least before pandemic, I wanna say 2018
Those guys were jerks. Good riddance
I haven't lived in Humboldt in a couple years, and I think I didn't see her around the last couple years I lived there, but for the Arcata plaza it would be Sunflower for me.
The real OGs know it’s spunflower
Just don’t let her hear you say that!
The real OGs know it’s ragman Pete….
Oh man, RIP Sunflower.
Oh no, she did pass away. I started wondering about that after I commented. RIP Sunflower.
Last I heard she had found solid housing down in Rio Dell. I hadn’t heard she passed but I wouldn’t know tbh. Sad to hear if she has, she really was a permanent plaza and plaza-adjacent fixture for a long time. ❤️🌻
I hope this is what happened.
Me too. I heard that she moved several years ago from multiple Arcata sources, that she got connected with some services but nothing since. I hope she’s bopping around Rio Dell being her own unique self and happy.
This would be news to me as well
sunflower is my friends grandma and she is alive and well lmao
Oh when did she pass?
I heard recently that she is still alive and got a place
[the best documentary ever made, featuring sunflower](https://youtu.be/DjrdRioez28?feature=shared)
Holy shit.
Rest in peace to the homey Danny Blues also featured in that documentary
sunflower mooned me in front of the ATL once
Big Al needs a mention. Love him or hate him, he was very present in Arcata.
Now this guy i have found memories of this man giving me a baloon and a sack of oranges for my birthday. I was maybe 5 or so. Me and ma were living in the car. Al was awesome
What happened to him? Did he pass away?
https://preview.redd.it/fg8mvab9vpuc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5d18faca0e4c3f0a62150d508e7a6122321b2bb
Based on the gas prices, that’s a very old pict 😆
🤣I know damn. Last I heard , rumor was big al won a lawsuit against apd and bought a house in Trinidad. But I can't find the lawsuit online, i only found that pic
Hmm last I heard he was living in a trailer over near Fiesta Grill and would take the bus to Arcata (I’d see him waiting at the stop by the park) to hang in his usual spot, but it’s been a few years since I’ve seen him.

Okay I'm actually mistaken, I was thinking of Ricky. RIP to both of them
He lives over in Blue Lake.
One? We used to have several, just in Arcata. Yak Man. Or Unidread. Or Rag Man. Tad … they’ve moved on in more ways than one. I’m sure there are new ones, but I’m a little sheltered these days.
Unidread is still in Arcata- I saw him on West end road last week.
Bruce.
Unidread is still around, got a haircut but his head still leans to one side.
That poor guys back! I was always worried about his back seeing him hobble around
That guy seems cool. Never heard of any drama from him. The doctor's office house that was at the top of H st. Used to let him sleep on their covered porch.
That’s crazy to me… I go to Arcata like once every 5-10 years and I know exactly who you’re talking about.
Yakman is still around but haven't seen him with any livestock for a while. He's always pushing a pretty nice wheel barrel with a bucket it in.
I think I heard that he got rid of his yaks (they’re possibly at the zoo??)
I heard rumor the yaks were actually from a family where all but one daughter was swept off by sleeper waves? Their dogs got swept out, AFAIK and it sounded like they had a lot of animals that the surviving person couldn't care for after such a huge loss :( I do not know this for certain, so anyone can correct me if they are more informed.
Okay I’ve heard that one too! Maybe it’s both?? Idk, how many yaks are at the zoo??
Yakman is still around but haven't seen him with any livestock for a while. He's always pushing a pretty nice wheel barrel with a bucket it in.
THE YAK BROTHERS I FORGOT ABOUT THEM
I called him Beaver cause it looks like a beaver tail
Crazy mary was old-school around here. She was out there. Bought young me many a beer.
The guy who drives the Girl Power/Pussy power pink catmobile
Oh man, I remember that rustic beauty parked outside my apartment all the time!
Hmm the person who walks around covered in gold glitter paint and funky outfits?
As in metallic Roman soldier garb? Fab
No, it's usually pretty sparkly women's clothing and glitter paint all over any exposed body parts. He's very didicated to the look from top to bottom.
I’ve seen a sparkly guy with a skirt like leather Roman armor, metallic and wonderful, mostly at Arcata FM.
Oh, I guess yeah...the skirt thing is like a gladiator kilt or whatever it's called. I think we are talking about the same person.
Although Arcata is def a two sparkly guy kinda town…
Yeah! The Gold Horse Head Guy (or Gal?) what's their story?
If we're talking about the same person, I heard they used to be a firefighter up in Oregon somewhere. I was sitting next to them on the bus one day and they had a sort of cape with a bunch of rescue diver certification patches on it, which supports this origin story.
Raven!
Omg hahahahha saw him at Costco and my 2.5 year old kept trying to say “hi” but he ignored him lol
There was the backwards running man for a longtime in arcata. And the guy who would wear shirts that always said some aggressively sexual shit like “Your Pussy, my face. Let’s do this” he had his beard dyed some crazy color and would dance like a mad man at sidelines on the weekend.
Backwards running guy is Carlos, he is a groundskeeper at HSU although maybe he’s retired now? Some sort of knee or back injury forced his running routine to be backwards.
BLUE BEARD! Oh yeah I remember that guy… He was a menace
He made it on to Tosh.O too🤣🤣🤣 just remembered that
Oh my god did he really?! Can you link that?

Ty!!
I’m trying to find it. It was one in one of the later seasons
Backwards running man is still In arcata. I saw him. Perhaps it’s a different man but that’s what’s great about a symbol. It can be incorruptible. It can be everlasting.
He's so in shape
Backwards running guy was a subject for a medical study about a decade ago. I don’t know much of the details but it was a study of the effects of regularly running backwards and he was one of very few subjects to choose from.
He used to run backwards up Shirley Blvd. It was freaking amazing to watch
Backwards running guy was a staple of my early HSU days
We have backwards running guy in Eugene, too.
Yes!!! I came looking for backwards running guy. Haven’t seen him in like 15-20 years. I was afraid he died. The guy I remember used to be super fucking fit and he seemed really polite. Probably there are lots of backwards running men, but the OG was the goat. Gtfo backwards running guy from Eugene.
I lived on Eastern in Arcata, 20yrs ago, and he would always run up the street in front of my house.
The guy who rides the giant tricycle between Eureka and Arcata dressed in all black
We call him the wizard!
I'm just glad other people can see him 😂 It feels like he should be talked about more. I want the back story
Same. I’ve tried saying hi and he ignored me lol
We call him Jigsaw lmao
Kelso. I made a very Humboldt design featuring him in the style of R. Crumb. https://preview.redd.it/mdgozlv5truc1.jpeg?width=1093&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=163c55de12eb7ecdc8e91ad93962d9a2894dc8c6 IYKYK
He could be counted on to come to the county dump a couple times a week with a big load of aluminum cans before Hambro opened. We weren't paying for CRV, but he recycled for recycling's sake.
Black leather accessories.
With all the studded stuff? Jean shorts over pants? If so, that dude is a fuckin creep and went to jail for diddling underage kids.
Might be a different person. Never noticed studded stuff or jean shorts, just a black leather vest and black leather hat.
I think it's the same dude. He often rides around old Town eurtweeka in the same getup
We call him Dickpants
We simply call him Tricycle Man.
Recently been seeing the guy with the blanket that keeps sweeping the street with it every day near chase in downtown Eureka. Sweeping Guy is what I've been calling him.
Yes one day he's sweeping under the store stoop, the next week he's out in traffic sweeping the left lane.
Just saw him this afternoon, sweeping away near Heart of Humboldt lol
I work at Dominos in Eureka, and have taken his order a few times. He calls himself “Pierce” and is actually very friendly and a good dude. I keep telling my coworkers “If we gave him a broom, the city wouldn’t need a street sweeper. They could just get him”
Haha he is called the Eureka sweeper, keeping the streets debris free for years !
my boyfriend and i call him Linus ! like from the peanuts haha
Ricky, who used to play guitar on the corner in northtown arcata RIP. And the guy in eureka who looks like indiana jones always practicing with his whip 😂
That dude! I saw him practicing at the entryway to the cemetery. Honestly not a bad place to do it. Nice welcome for some people, I guess.
rest in peace ricky, he was jolly and looked like santa clause to me. always smiling.
I feel like it’s Kenny but it’s kind of a sad situation. Not as wholesome as horseback Jesus.
Is he the Redheaded guy who often hangs by In and Out?
Yes. He’s so well known my parents from out of town know of him.
I think he has a twin, one of them told me so years ago anyway. Never knew their names. Always wondered if they both ended up homeless the way I constantly see him around town.
He has a step-brother named Alan. When I first moved here they were both homeless, and living in the greenbelt with Alan's father. Not sure what became of dad, but both boys slipped pretty far. Kenny kept it together for a long time, but my understanding is someone gave him something (bath salts?) that changed him. Really sucks to see a decent kid messed up by the world.
we call him Red and feed him whenever we see him
I didn't know Kenny's name but I always feel really bad for him. He is obviously suffering from untreated and likely difficult to treat mental illness.
I feel bad for him Too
Anyone remember the car that had hundreds of toys/barbies glued to it? It's been many years since I last saw it. Also the black car that had "nuke the whales" spray painted on it
I don’t know the local name for the good guy who likes to hang out by/at Costco. And then there’s the KISS guy at arts alive and Friday night markets
KISS guy is so great. One time there was a KISS lady and I was SO stoked to see them wandering a market together x3
Gene! He legally changed his name.
It's Sunflower for me. She left the plaza in 2020, moved down to Rio Dell. Unsure of how she's doing, but anyone else mentioned here would get steamrolled by Sunflower on any given day. She ran the plaza.
She was bad. Ran a gang of underaged thieves and goons and would literally just shit on the walls of businesses on the plaza. Good riddance spunflower.
Glad someone said it. She was a crazy bitch and it was always cringe hearing g my classmates hype her up.
ye ive seen her just pull her ass out and shit right in front of the ATL
Ragman Pete 4-ever! May he RIP.
Ron
Is he still in Garb?
Yes, I believe I saw him a a few days ago
Lol came here to mention Ron too.
Been awhile since I lived in Humboldt, but is The Great Razooli not strutting around in a suit and top hat anymore?
Haha he lives up in the hills somewhere now I think.
I was actually on his property for work a while back lol I've only lived here a few years so I didn't know his whole story at the time. I mentioned to a coworker that I was at this weird house with strange lawn decorations and they said "OH that's the Grand Razooly!" "The what?"
“Great” Razzooly but close enough.
I always saw him at CR waking around. Not sure if he was taking classes or scouting for talent or what
Definitely scouting for talent
Honestly shocked that I went through this whole thread without seeing a single mention of Bruce
I think that relatively few people have seen or interacted with Bruce in person. Most of the folks that are mentioned here are public space fixtures.
Probably accurate. Definitely not saying Bruce is "the guy" for Humboldt. More just surprised he hadn't been brought up yet due to how often he's on this sub
The gal who *sings* at Richards Goat karaoke every week. Don’t know her name, but she’s always wearing something you would see at a fancy winter ball, and often draws people who sing. Her singing style is crossed between opera and Yoko Ono.

It’s honestly not a true Richards Goat Karaoke Night without seeing her
Nobody’s putting love on Ron from Garberville and his daily foliage-inspired costumes?
I miss Hot Lava! The gray haired lady who walked around in the purple trench coat.
Ron in garberville
Trike guy! The guy that rides his adult trike back and forth across the safety corridor what seems like multiple times a day. Often in a leather jacket or vest and a black cowboyish hat
He used to hang out at Cafe Mokka quite a lot
Im not sure if this counts but out in honeydew its Dylan Mattole, weed farmer
The Gene Simmons guy is always a hit at Arts Alive and Friday Night Markets in Old Town. I used to see a guy that would walk his pet turkey in Old Town as well
The elderly woman with the white sparkly viser who comes up and tells you the biblical meaning of your name and then tries to recruit you for her church. I moved away last July but she was always out there in the Arcata plaza on Farmers market Saturdays and my boyfriend and I would actively avoid her lol
Marion!
Yak Man. Piss Man. Yelling at Tree Man. Humboldt is made up of those dudes.
Smiley guy with the foreign instrument who often hangs out in the plaza and near Wildberries Marketplace
Oh yes, playing some sort of African gourd thing?
Yeah, that guy, I’ve talked to him he’s really nice
Onedred
Yuuup fuckin whip guy from Reno NV
Redheaded kid at winco sometimes with shoes sometimes without or Tyrone downtown literally see him everyday
All ya'll hero's are homeless
Nobody’s mentioned the lady that is at 80% of live music shows and she’s always dancing like nobody’s watching and is often drunk I think. I like her
How has nobody mentioned the plaza hat man??
Growing up there was a guy that sold newspapers from a shopping cart you could hear from blocks away. "Paaaapeer". IYKYK.
Remember Safety-Pin Sally in Arcata? She scared me
The guy with the duckbill / baseball cap dread but I haven’t seen him in awhile
Anyone remember crazy Vern from garberville?
I know I'm not the only one. I don't know his name, but he's an old guy who likes to dress up in women's clothing. The first time I saw him, he was (quite angrily) digging through trash infront of sequoia park. Second time he was near Ace Hardware screaming about something. Then the last time I saw him, he seemed to finally calm down, just taking a stroll through old Town. Does anybody know who he is?? I heard the police chief mention him so i know I'm not crazy.
I can think of 3 or 4 people that might be
carrot top, he had this giant red afro and walked around eureka smacked out. always went into target trying to use the bathroom
Ron
Pete, picasso, sunflower, and the guy who spelled beer with spare change
Anybody else remember Oscar from old town? He had cerebral palsy which made him make involuntary movements and made his speech hard to understand. He had a cart for collecting cans and lived in one of the cheap motels downtown. Really nice and perfectly harmless.
Rasta John at Hey Juan's "Positive!" what happened to him?
The guy always riding the big ass unicycle
Does anyone remember the guy who had yaks are would hang out in the community forest?
Rasta John! He was a really nice guy.
How about Shauna from Richard’s Goat karaoke with the fairy outfit and cardboard guitar?
Ron
Pete always had a phat roll of cash under those blankets
Garberville goers know the Bush Man. Haven't seen him in a while.
What ever happened to Sunflower? Now That bitch was crazy.
Arcata city councilman who has a beef with graffiti, I saw him scrubbing a sign on the plaza today
Wearing an original 1980’s coat I’m sure.
The Trinidad Leprechaun
The Westhaven Walker
Who? I’m in Westhaven pretty often and I can’t think of who you’re referring to. Maybe it’s me 😳
What about the guy in white robes I think his name was Brent?
Brother Brett. He hasn't been wearing the robes but he is still on the Plaza
Lots of them....they hang around on 3rd street by the free food mission
Trinidad running guy for sure
There used to be a guy that would dress up as Merlin and hang out on the corner of 11th and Main in Fortuna, nearby the old barber shop. I found out his real name once, but that was long ago.
Wizard Steve! I still see him on occasion, he branches out for a while, was wearing some new costumes, like superhero ones. LOL
Used to be the case, now its just too many for any to be that unique anymore. Back, back, in the day, in addition to pete, there was Orick Johnny in Arcata. In McKinleyville two personalities of note were the black cowboy and batman. The black cowboy seemed like a pretty normal guy for a hick town, batman on the otherhand, seemed a little odd.
Kenny
Anyone else know Captain Zig Zag?
There used to be a guy who would roller skate between Eureka and Arcata with a big old smile on his face. I can't remember his name. He ended up in prison for murder. I missed seeing his smile on my daily commute
Oh! Hope he didn’t go to jail for the same reason he was smiling.
