everybody's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

This is a photo I found on flickr of Frank Taylor Wright. It's been a while since I've been to Franklin St. in Chapel Hill. But on many of my visits, I would see Mr. Wright, always dressed to the nines and looking fine. Sadly, he passed away back in January. Which I just learned about from a story in the N&O today. Mr. Wright had no insurance so his family are selling some of his suits. Hopefully at least one person buying them will keep wearing them out on the streets, somewhere, brightening up the days.
Farewell, sir. The world will be less fabulous without you.

Thanks for the news. Your buying/wearing of suits reminds me of "Eli the Fanatic," an early short story by Philip Roth. Worth reading. In the collection with "Goodbye Columbus" which is definitely worth reading.

Here's another pic of Mr. Wright.
