Well, encampment at Walgreen’s continues. Update stopped by to talk with them. Brian and Scott are their names. Asked them if the police ever bothered them and they said no. They were told about the house break-in down the street and the pick-up truck situation of last week. They were asked if they would look out for the street. Also asked if they would keep the homeless from hanging out at Walgreens and pick up the litter in the street. They agreed to all. Brian, the one in the forefront said: “We’re not thieves, we’re just alcoholics. And we hate the litter. We pick it up when we see it.” It was explained to them that they get blamed for it all so that now the neighborhood will expect them to keep the area clean. They were told about PATH and Update notified PATH.
