The identity of this man has intrigued me for the last five years. In terms of Minneapolis enigmas, Scott Seekins doesn’t do much for me. But this man, THIS MAN. He’s interesting.  As a sophomore in college, I couldn’t tear my eyes off the man who hastily boarded route 16 every day wearing an orange suit, possessively carrying a briefcase that looked like it could only contain unmarked bills, and looking like a modern-day reincarnation of The Man with the Yellow Hat. As a 23-year-old, I’m still attempting to take sneaky pictures of his suits du jour on my phone when I spy him downtown. Things I know about him: He has a penchant for loudly colored suits.  Purple seems to be his power color. He carries around a very mysterious metal briefcase, the contents of which I’d pay at least $10 to examine.  He’s a regular on every bus in town.  He frequently lifts weights at the Uptown YWCA. He does not wear his red suit there, instead preferring the comfort of a stained white tank top and sweatpants. One of my main goals in college (overachieving lady that I am) was to figure out the identity and the profession of this man before I graduated. I failed miserably, but I’m still interested.  So. Who is this man, what does he do, and where the hell does one buy a red plaid suit in 2012?
