Zoltar, in all of his flamboyant glory, waits in a sidewalk booth to share fortunes with passers-by. Despite his ultra-colorful appearance, not a single person stopped to speak with him during my visit.
I did not realize that Zoltar is actually a “thing.” Yes, you can look up “Zoltar Speaks” on the Internet and read all about him. (He comes in standard, economy, and deluxe models.) I remain perplexed about what he may have to do with the cultural setting of San Francisco’s Chinatown district.
