Every neighborhood has these people in them. They’re like shadows, ghosts… we all know about them, but no one knows who they really are. A few months back Russel Fong shed some light on a character that everyone in Williamsburg is familiar with, but knew very little about. Laurence LaDouceur isn’t the only neighborhood character that I’m certain everyone recognizes, but knows little about. Anthony Delia is another one of the mysterious local celebrities whose known for his joy rides around Williamsburg singing at the top of his lungs to the Oldies station. Granted, Anthony isn’t quite the character study Laurence LaDouceur was/is, he’s still someone I’m sure anyone who’s ever lived or visited Williamsburg regularly has wondered “What is this guy’s deal?” to themselves at least once as he drove past you singing “Big Girls Don’t Cry”.

I hope Russel does the Bedford Ave. “performance artist” who dresses in nothing but underwear and rabbit ears soon… Or perhaps the Greenpoint Snugglebums will get that next spotlight?
