Azle man Will Norman understands that sometimes, people just need someone to talk to.

He tells the Springtown Epigraph, "Sometimes you need a stranger to talk to...nobody is stranger than me."

So, Norman set up a tent next to the side of the road with a couple of chairs, and offers motorists, strangers, really anyone passing by a friendly ear to talk to.

Norman has heard stories from suicide to heroin use, though he offers a completely judgement-free space for anyone who's willing to share. He says, "No political agenda, no religious agenda...I'm here for anyone."
