homeless hotel is a name we coined the abandoned save-a-lot in our neighborhood that has attracted a semi-large gathering of homeless people and junkies that sleep (and shoot up) under its awnings. walking by here everyday is not pleasant, to say the least; mixed feelings of depression and apathy come to mind.
i noticed yesterday afternoon that all of the "residents" were gone, as were their belongings. this morning when i passed by, there was just one person. what happened? i don't really have intentions, at least for the time being, to make this blog super political, so i'll save my speech about the need for adequate social services. that said, i can't say i'm sad that they're gone, at least temporarily.
(without risking life and my phone, let alone possibly humiliating the subject matter, i am unable to post a photo.)
