Ask the right homeless and you can get a vodka in your juice.
There's also a well organized small group at the wet shelter to supply you with drugs if you want. Just go to the alley beside the wet shelter where the shoes are hanging from the power lines. For those of you not in the know, the shoes are a well established signal of illegal drugs available under the hanging shoes.
Usually on Friday late afternoon and early evening there is a high number of cars driving in and out of the alley but not one of those vehicles are shelter residents, just visitors that never get out of their cars. Someone from the wet shelter parking lot goes out “to visit” for a while, smiles, handshakes, and off the visiting car goes. There is even a second exchange location at the alley between the Trinity and First Christian Church if the other line is full, you know, quick service line. It was so well organized that the bobby fisher chess guy was at the alley to get his supply a couple of weeks ago.
Henderson and Morgan will see to it that the trash, booze containers, cigarette butts, dirty bedding, loitering drunks & druggies, and general mayhem is missing for the pancake feed. If the executive director of the wet shelter, Henderson, and the co-ordinator of LINK, Morgan, can clean up the area for a fund raiser, they can clean up the neighborhood for those of us who live, walk, and pay taxes in the 10th and Kentucky (slums) on days other than fund raiser days. Is this what we get with the city endorsement of the task force efforts?
JW do us a favor and get a photo of the north side of the First Christian Church on the morning of the pancake feed and another shot of the same location on any given afternoon.
