Chicago man makes $400 for giving tourists safe passage to King Von’s mural at O-Block.

A Chicago man recently went viral claiming that tourists paid him $400 just to be escorted to King Von’s mural located on the side of Parkway Supermarket (at 6435 South King Drive), across the street from the famous Parkway Gardens apartment complex. Shortly after the business transaction, he posted pictures with the following caption, “Just made them give me $200 each [sunglasses emoji].”

Recently, a Chicago man hopped on social media to share an interesting way he says he earns money. The self-proclaimed comedian, Tae Marlon, said he charged tourists in the city $200 each to see a King Von mural. The mural is located in Parkway Gardens, also known as O Block. The man shared a photo alongside two men wearing ties, and his claims have raised some suspicion among social media users.

Some users believe that the men actually appear to be Jehovah’s Witnesses as opposed to tourists. “They don’t seem like the type of guys to listen to Von,” one user writes alongside laughing emojis. “I think those are mormons,” another writes. One Twitter user says, “Jehovahs Witnesses Right There.” Other social media users seem to believe the man, calling him a “smart guy.”
