Perhaps, he needs it today but he did not need it yesterday. I first met him in 2007, panhandling, when I needed his help to push my old car off the road away from the incoming traffic. Back then it was only $20.00 tip for his assistance but I see the need in today’s economy. Still what is wrong with this picture?
With this economy, one needs to find ways to survive, take what you can get and I believe he just did.
It was extremely hot but the poor guy stood there for hours on end. Hope better days are coming.
This is used to be a Shell gas station before it became what it is today. No one knows why it went under as there seems to have been a pretty good traffic.
It used to also be frequented by High School students from across the street. The station used to close its doors and let a few students in at time. I could not figure the reason; perhaps, to avoid theft.
There was never a notice telling the public that there were shutting down their doors. We just saw it closed one day then the demolition and two years later, the erection of the new building.
The beginning was like a game trying to guess who the future residents were but we soon learned. First, came Chipotle, then 7Eleven and now Cashies ice cream. Yummi!!! Oh, there is one space left. It surely beats down a gas station.
