Best Street Character: Baton Bob
Staff Pick
Certainly the city has edgier street people and those who have been around longer. But in the two years since he arrived intown, BATON BOB has become Atlanta’s street-level cheerleader by leading his own marches throughout Midtown while wearing an eye-catching array of upbeat costumes, from prom dresses and tutus to wedding gowns and superhero tights. The 54-year-old Bob Jamerson has a day job as a florist, but he also works hard at brightening the day a little bit for the rest of us. He’s one man on the street you never get tired of seeing.
