We, the undersigned, as employees in the Twin Towers owned by Monday Properties, strongly urge management at Monday Properties to either restore Clarence the Shoeshine Vendor's position on the mezzanine level in between buildings, or move his worksite to the 1100 building front entrance lobby area. As you are aware, Clarence has been an invaluable asset to the businesses and employees located in the Twin Towers. More than just the service he renders, Clarence provides hundreds of passers-by a positive vibration of well-wishes and happiness. He is fixed piece of the culture here in the Towers that certainly and is irreplaceable. Placing him at the front entrance of the 1000 building is not benefiting anyone in the building--especially not Clarence and his business. His normal clientele now have more difficulty accessing his services. And now our commute between Towers doesn't have the same bouyancy and lift of positive greetings as it always did. We as the collective employees of the Twin Towers strongly urge you to restore his position, or move him to the front entrance of the 1100 front entrance lobby. We thank you in advance for your attention to this request. Sincerely,

I honestly cannot believe how many people have stepped up to say something about the mezzanine being so empty without him. It really hits home that I am not the only one who misses those morning greetings and the way the lobby feels just a little bit quieter lately.

Clarence is the best part of my morning. Makes no sense to move him where nobody can find him. Put him back already.

Been getting my shoes done by Clarence for years. The new spot is awful for business. Please fix this.

THIS IS JUST UNFAIR. He is part of this building culture and always has a smile for everyone. Let him stay where he belongs!
