Petey Greene's Washington

Petey Green was a beloved institution here in Washington from the 60's to the early 80's, who was the subject of the recent movie Talk To Me. Of course movies are never real portrayals of the subjects they depict, but I didn't know how far off the depiction of Greene would be. I didn't know that his grave went unmarked all these years. Greene passed in 1984. I'm not surprised at this turn of events, especially since Greene wasn't known outside the confines of D. C.. I'm hardly surprised though, as this is the way these things usually turn out. Read more here.
