Kind of looks like our mayor. Otis you just need to talk to Sheriff Pals and get a key so you have a place to sleep and then you wont get harassed so much.
There you go. Turn him loose to do it again, and again, and again.
Why not. Music Man square is right there. And, a classy place like the Cultural Crescent needs cheap burgers to fuel all the activities it hosts.
