Yeah, I used to live downtown (near 13th and Delaware) and it was best to assume nothing and develop excellent ignoring skills if you ventured outside after dark.

They would let us out at 2:30 most mornings.<br /><br />I would often swing by Meijer's (a grocery store) to pick up a gallon of milk or some other, necessary grocery item.<br /><br />I saw many 20-something girls wearing impossibly short skirts doing the same things at that time of the morning.<br /><br />It struck me that after "work" they also had lives, and kids...much like me. Still, it is a very rough way to put food on the table.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-64624465832804937822015-03-16T14:23:14.272-04:002015-03-16T14:23:14.272-04:00Hey Bobbi and Tam.

They have to be working for someone.<br /><br />There was a young lady at 38th and Michigan Road at around noon today who had no business hanging out on a highway median cadging donations. Dressed nicely if casually, bathed (!) and her hair "done", and a smile on her face. Couldn't have been more than 30, and probably younger.<br /><br />There are plenty of jobs out there for such as she. Maybe I don't get it.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.com
