Joan, please see my article from August 2011: Street Preacher Walks Wildwood at the link http://eureka-wildwood.patch.com/articles/street-preacher-walks-wildwood#photo-7331518
Did you see him recently? Talk to him? If so, any updates about what he is doing? From the photo background, it looks as though he was on Wildwood's walking trail.

Julie, all I know is that I saw him on Easter Sunday morning~we had left church after the 'early' service and breakfast when I caught a glimpse of this man walking 'the Wildwood's walking trail in the area of the Wildwood Hotel. I asked my husband to turn around and go back because I wanted to take a picture of him. When we came back, I called out to him and asked if it was alright for me to take his picture. He said it was alright and told us he was on his "way to the Wildwood Community Church up the road, that he had taken the bus to Wildwood from the city and then was walking the rest of the way. Again, yesterday, I had a glimpse of him west of hwy 109, did not talk with him. Thank you for the information. I was curious as to who he was and that of his mission.

Glad we connected about it, Joan. If my memory is correct, he told me that he takes annual "walk abouts," though. From your sightings, he appears to be in Wildwood more often than that. It could have to do with the bus route.

He was at Living Word Church this past Sunday morning toward the end of the 10:45 worship service and stayed for a while afterward talking with people.

Thanks, Denise Denner, for that update. I wonder how many area churches he visits over time.

The owner, of course, should do whatever he/she wishes to do on his own property. I'm simply curiousRead More about Wildwood's Planning and Public Work's "guess." How does farming a piece of property instead of allowing it to sit vacant actually decrease its tax assessments? It doesn't change the zoning. What is the zoning of the property? If residential, how much corn do I need to plant on my extra property to decrease my property assessment?
