Known simply as "Joe" this old curmudgeon looks like the prospector type. Joe has been sitting and meeting folks in downtown Walker MN for nearly fifty years.
First greeting customers in 1969 Joe is still providing folks a place to sit a spell as well as a great photo opportunities. I've been chatting with Joe since the late 1970's. Every now and then he goes in for spiffing up but he always loves to meet the many tourists and shoppers in downtown Walker.
