Man Celebrates Birthday Every Year Giving Away Money on Street Corner
A North Carolina man spent his 59th birthday standing on the corner of an intersection in Winston-Salem giving out a wad of $5 bills.

A North Carolina man spent his 59th birthday standing on the corner at a busy intersection in Winston-Salem giving out a wad of $5 bills.

This is the third year Bob Blackley has held up a sign to cars on September 4 offering money — this time giving away $800 to 160 people.
