Just Another Day In The Big City

homeless man by the name of James. i had an interesting conversation with a former homeless man who now works at a homeless shelter here in LA. he told me that the public actually hurts the mission's cause by supplying food and drinks to the homeless. "instead of the homeless people going to the shelters for food and housing they stay on the street and smoke their dope because they can rely on the public to give them hot coffee and food daily." the man i spoke with was a former dope-fiend and he and his wife were the first graduating couple out of the Los Angeles Mission. I am going to go inside the mission next week to continue my interview and to take some pics.
