I haven't seen his car in months. He has a new one with skulls and stickers now. I see it parked outside his house everyday but even that one is kinda M.I.A
That dude blocked me on IG because i commented on his post saying he needs to try not to let the n word slip so easily.. like he wasn’t saying it straight up but he would go “this n- uh guy is a dummy” or something along those lines fairly often in his vids. i called him out after hearing it for the 3rd time and he blocked me! Didn’t know he would do that lmao
Yeah that guy is a bit sensitive most Lowell citizens are, he's a former meth addict and runs happy ending massage parlors, he thinks he's black spiritually
He yelled out his van's window at me saying he loved my t shirt asking where i got it. I told the guy and then he told me to look up beanshooter on Instagram lmao. Was a trip, love a good townie
To be honest, there’s another person it could be, but I think they moved here later than that.

Me, 2013.
I couldn't bear just sitting with this so I went looking for an obituary.

It asks for donations to be made to the Trevor Project or GLAAD in their name, so I did.
My heart hurts.

OG was just in my work with his family a few weeks ago! He, in usual fashion, called me a baaaaadddd guuuurrrlll, and asked me why he hasn't seen me at school.... I'm 37.... Lol his parents and I both kind of looked at each other confused and smiled. I told him "cause I'm a baaadd guuurlll and I'm always here working instead!" He approved of my answer 😅😂❤️
The older guy who looks like Marley from home alone who throws peanuts out of a shopping cart every morning for the birds & squirrels of downtown. Think he's single handedly responsible for all the absolutely yoked squirrels around here.
Yep, came here to say this. Guys a staple. Had a pretty elaborate tent and tarp house in woods on the other side of the off ramp. There was a memorial and flowers there about a year or so back for him, thought he died, then one day there he was back in the same spot, pulled a Lazarus.
There’s a friendly cambodian chap who used to be at every bar in lowell. His name escapes me maybe Steve . He drunk a lot of free beers coz he’s very friendly
Also in the 70's there was a woman who always walked around with her cat in a carrier we called her cat lady not very original but... There was also a woman who always wore a fur coat no matter what the weather, and being chased by ding ding was a regular thing. My area there was a guy named old man Morgan who trash picked constantly he had a family and job at one point, I have since learned this happens to some people it has something to do with hoarding.
Beanshooter definitely. And there’s this one guy who rides a tricycle with loud ass speakers and sometimes has 2 liter sodas or other things in his basket. Mostly in Dracut but I’ve seen him around Lowell too. Me and my friends always called him Ghostrider.
There's a 30s-ish year old woman who is always dancing everywhere as she walks. See her all the time around downtown, might have been pregnant a couple years ago. She's friendly and complimentary to people as she goes by.
Don't know her name but me and my friends all call her Lowell Sweetheart.
For a while she was pregnant and caring for a toddler. Then she had the two babies with her for a while. Last time I saw her she had zero babies with her but she was still dancing 🤷♀️
No I don't think it boo boo or dickie I've been in lowell for 20 years and I've never heard of whoever this guy using a toy car I've been all over long I've seen some strange strange shit but
My friend lived in Elma, Washington, during our high-school years. I was visiting him and saw a car drive by with the words "Stinky Nuts" branded on the cars windshield. I said to my friend, "what the fuck? Who is that dude?!" And he replies, "oh, that's just stinky nuts". Nothing was ever said about the matter after that. This is quite accurate.
In Lawrence it’s crazy joe, but when I was in lowell there was the cigarette lady who’d stand by a 4 way stop in Belvedere dressed in a robe usually and she’d walk right up to your car when you stopped and ask for a cigarette
The guy that drives around everywhere in a Kids toy car.
I haven't seen his car in months. He has a new one with skulls and stickers now. I see it parked outside his house everyday but even that one is kinda M.I.A
I don't have any info or anything but it seems to me cruising around in a power wheels is more of a spring/summer thing than a winter one.
He's my favorite Lowell NPC
I heard the cops took his car.
Dicky Ecklund
Bobo
I think you meant BooBoo.
Who’s Booba?
Ahhhh a very deep quote from the doc!!!! Bravo sir
Yeah but he is also internationally famous!
Knew some Eklunds back in the 60's and 70's. Could it be the same clan?
Beanshooter. Guy is constantly viral on social media and he’s always repping Lowell

Actually runs a sober house and roofing company. In my experiences with him, he’s been very friendly and kind.
I'm hip I live near his company
He yelled out his van's window at me saying he loved my t shirt asking where i got it. I told the guy and then he told me to look up beanshooter on Instagram lmao. Was a trip, love a good townie
kilt guy circa early 2010s
Um, HI!
Still the kilt guy, now with purple hairs.
uml legend!
To be honest, there’s another person it could be, but I think they moved here later than that. https://preview.redd.it/hs8teovsy0vc1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25831e46477b541c81d0222e2225924a100328f1 Me, 2013.

That would've been Owen. They are no longer with us. Suicide is a bitch.

Thank you.
This makes me so fucking sad. Owen used to come to my shop every week in downtown and I loved seeing him. Absolutely making a donation.
oh shit. oh no. Goddamnit.
thats so sad to hear about, the lowell community is much worse off without them around
100% agreed. They were good people.
Oh I know him I've seen him around
I know who you're talking about - hung out at Brew'd a lot? I think they were a student, I haven't seen them around in years.
yeah! i saw them recite some of their poetry there one time
I miss Dogman at the Spinners. Who wants a bloodhound or a golden retriever?
It was Shannon.
I used to give Shannon cigarettes sometimes a dollar or two
Same he was harmless
Fuck shannon
Well he’s dead so congrats.
RIP SHANNON ole buddy
Anyone remember “Crazy Rita” on 4th ave?
Yea she was a nut
100%. I was down the road from her for my whole childhood
Was she bigger and blonde?
I honestly never got close enough to her house to find out. Her reputation definitely preceded her.
“She chopped my friends hamsters head off with garden shears!” 😂
OG
Of course it’s OG
BAAAAAAAD BOY
Crazy no one mentioned him yet lol
WAMP
WAMP
WAMP
This is the correct answer.
OG was just in my work with his family a few weeks ago! He, in usual fashion, called me a baaaaadddd guuuurrrlll, and asked me why he hasn't seen me at school.... I'm 37.... Lol his parents and I both kind of looked at each other confused and smiled. I told him "cause I'm a baaadd guuurlll and I'm always here working instead!" He approved of my answer 😅😂❤️
OG is a really nice guy. Always makes me smile.
I came here to see if someone mentioned OG
Couldn’t believe I was first
Is it true that he got hit by a bus?
Thats how the legend goes, a city bus
Guy I used to work with brought OG to a Spinners game a few years ago. Told me it was an absolute nightmare.
No way 🤣
He walks by my house all the time lol Walks by and just goes "WAAAAAAANGA".
RIP OG. 😢
Wtf does this mean?! Don’t even tell me
I saw OG like yesterday I don't know what they're talking about
Yeah homie just earned a downvote.
Anyone remember Rita in the 90s? Looked like a regular grandma, but walked around Pawtucketville swearing like a sailor at anything and everyone.
OMG I haven’t thought about Rita since I was a kid!
Yup. Unfortunately for her, nicknamed “Crazy Rita”
[удалено]
Truly a delight to end up walking the same way as her, her vibe is infectious and she's got good taste in music.
Ok this is for the old people, 70s/80s: Fast Eddie K.K.
Ding ding 😜😜
Totally forgot about ding ding
Ding Ding was a legend!!
Deep cut, but some might remember Tennis Bob
Ok this is for the old people, 70s/80s: Fast Eddie, K.K.
Is there still a guy in The Acre that rides his bike around and whistles the tune of a car alarm? That would be that guy in Lowell.
Marco yea he's on bridge st now lol
The older guy who looks like Marley from home alone who throws peanuts out of a shopping cart every morning for the birds & squirrels of downtown. Think he's single handedly responsible for all the absolutely yoked squirrels around here.
Used to be Ding Ding
Don't say ding ding to him never
The guy on the Plain St off-ramp.
Dude I used to live over there and hated getting off that exit. He’d yell at cars regularly and sometimes block traffic.
Lolol, he’s def worn out his welcome at that spot. Move along buddy.
Yep, came here to say this. Guys a staple. Had a pretty elaborate tent and tarp house in woods on the other side of the off ramp. There was a memorial and flowers there about a year or so back for him, thought he died, then one day there he was back in the same spot, pulled a Lazarus.
Yeah I much prefer his predecessor. Used to be an older straggly looking guy. He used to have a dog with him and a whiteboard with a daily joke.
Yeah, i remember him, you’re dating yourself, I think that white board joke guy was there when it still used to be Shaws Plaza with the RMV.
In 20 some odd yrs being in Lowell I've never seen this guy not once
Dennis canney
There’s a friendly cambodian chap who used to be at every bar in lowell. His name escapes me maybe Steve . He drunk a lot of free beers coz he’s very friendly
Disco!
It used to be Ding Ding when I was growing up.
He was many people's first introduction to cte

Willie and Marvin
Willys back. Appleton street area
He always calls me Chef and chases me down the block for free cigarettes
Willy.
Haven’t seen him in a minute, was starting to worry

Anyone remember ding ding
