So I've decided that I'm going to start featuring people that I see on a regular basis throughout my day-to-day life in the city. These people to me are local celebrities as I see them frequently yet know very little about who they are. I tend to imagine brief personal biographies from the small surface level observations I am able to make.
Today's celebrity is an elderly woman that can be spotted almost daily near the Southwest corner of Market and Spear streets. This lady has a peculiar style that I would say is all her own, except for the fact that she has an identical twin that dresses exactly the same as she does. I typically only see one of them on this corner and wonder if the other is off on another corner asking for spare change, and if they alternate spots. I imagine the two of them living together in cluttered single room apartment somewhere nearby.
I've been a curious about these two ladies for quite some time now and have yet to muster up the gall to actually speak to them. So I did what any indisposed human would do, I Googled the terms "San Francisco, twins, sisters." I learned a little bit about the famous Brown Sisters, however there was next to nothing about the two ladies that I see near my place of employment. She/they stand in a high traffic area so I know many people see her/them daily like I do, yet there's little to no word about them on the ol' interwebs. Eventually I suppose I'll ask them about themselves but until that day all I have is speculation.
The only other evidence I could find online of these ladies together was a photo from lnkyhack's flickr stream:
