So I'm going to turn around here by the Market Street Bridge and come back up.
01:30
He's not in his usual spot.
01:32
So there's a couple places he can be, but I'm going to go to the Freedom Way area and check underneath the bridge and see if he's under the actual veterans.
01:47
All right, time for it.
01:48
We'll pull off Main Street and wait for you.

03:13
I checked where his normal place is, and I mean,
