every day on our way to work we see homeless folk sleeping on the sidewalk, in the subway stations, in the parks. many are veterans [the drabs are telling].
one particular group around the City Hall area made us curious. ya see, there's a homeless shelter right above the subway station. yet they prefer to sleep as they do, AWAY from the shelter . . .
