Week Five

The site we were so keen on was threatened because of some apprehensive city officials who believe that corner to be the center of drug activity. Having this confrontation with the city ended up being a good thing. We stopped to recall specific neighborhood folks in favor of the site, and their reasons for it. That made all the difference. The resolution was this: We can still build the shelter at Livingston/Depot. In 6 months, if the shelter is run over with unintended & negative activities, then the city will move it.
