Accord­ing to WCCO (Twin Cities);

“Four-year-old Shira Rabkin wanted to ask just the right ques­tions, so she thought long and hard. “Dear Mr. Lit­tle Guy,” she finally scrawled in big let­ters across a sheet of paper. “Do you like mints?” After some more pon­der­ing, she added, “and going to Camp Snoopy? Love, Shira.”

Mr. Lit­tle Guy was nowhere in sight this early August evening, so Shira stuffed her let­ter behind his door at the base of a hol­lowed out ash tree. It’s always open, and always full — of let­ters, pens, flow­ers and coins.

The elu­sive elf has enchanted Twin Citians ever since the 6-inch wooden door appeared eight years ago, just off a walk­ing path around pop­u­lar Lake Har­riet. Dou­ble takes led to mes­sages, and mes­sages to answers — and some­how Mr. Lit­tle Guy keeps up, respond­ing to the queries in typed notes half the size of busi­ness cards.”

Meet Mr. Lit­tle Guy.
