Detroit's "Walking Man" moved to Burbs b/c he now has $$.
Must read article for the "what do you think about cheap Detroit houses?" posters we get on a weekly basis these days.
The most recent update highlights events since Robertson’s story came to light. After word of the money and car got out, Robertson was hounded by friends and neighbors who wanted to take part in his windfall. He was quickly and quietly moved out of his previous home in Detroit by Detroit police; they did so because they were quite aware of arecent murder of an 86-year-old Detroiterwho was killed because he was a $20,000 lottery winner. They certainly wanted Robertson to avoid a similar fate.
Tread appropriately.
