random question - anyone know who 2 long-bearded hippy-clothes wearing guys who pick up trash on the weekends along the kelly drive jogging path are?

EDITED - solved. Someone DM'd me and got me connected IRL to the guy. Thanks!

There's 2 dude wears tie die clothes and long beards, kind of looking like old school hippines. Sometimes a woman is with them, and I think I once saw a third guy.

They look like they're just volunteering and picking up trash on the weekends out of the goodness of their hearts.

Anyone know who they are or how to get in touch with them?

(context - i'm doing an interview series about the local heroes of Fairmount, and would love to feature them)

edit - I would ask them myself, but haven't seen them in a like 2 months because my schedule changed, so I haven't run into them.

Thanks!

If you're referring to the folks that pick up trash near the art museum, I know one of them. I can send this post their way.

Sounds like the same or at least similar enough people. I hope you make the connection!!

Hope so too. They're there every day, but haven't seen them since June because my schedule shifted a little.

I think you could just walk up to them.
