Who is your favorite neighborhood celebrity or local legend?

There was a post made recently about Pigeon Lady in the r/Chicago sub. And someone in the comments mentioned "freeing the Man in the Bean", and another mentioned "Preacher Man". I've heard of Pigeon Lady and her husband, but have not yet stumbled into them.

I have not heard of the other two examples. I'm preatty new to Chicago (about two months in so far) so I don't know of many other examples. I wanna hear your favorite well known chicago residents that are well known for odd reasons, and I especially wanna hear the lore behind them!

Also! Does not need to be a human lol. Ex: I've heard of an alligator that was nicknamed "Chance the Snapper".
