Homeless Guy by Pershing Square




********************

The sun is hot at Melrose and Vine, even in February




Close on Anguished Face




*******************
He Has a Great Spot Close to Transportation:



He used to stand all day behind a bus bench at the corner of Melrose and Vine.

He Could Be Your Brainy Uncle

SHE LIVES AT MELROSE & VINE
Close to transportation
In the alley behind the bus stop

************************

Do You Recognize Him?



He was outside the Oscars February 2009



*************************

This man I've seen a few times, on buses, he sits, takes up eight seats, people shove him and his things aside to take a seat. . .



********************
She Digs Through Trash for Lunch-

I see the woman below often when going to Civil West courthouse, Dept 308 where Elias sits- she wanders the blocks near Vermont and Sixth, digging through trash for food, perching in wait in doorways....

Another Pershing Square resident:

Lenny Sits in front of Political Signs

And shabby rundown apartments that cost at least two thousand to move in, a thousand a month to live in.



Lenny, closer



Lenny, Closer



**************************

People wander day and night
The streets of L.A., all their earthly belongings in a rusty grocery cart



*********************

Across from Federal Courthouse
Downtown L.A., parks and green spots are populated by people with no visible means of hygenic toiletry...

Snoozing
At Sunset and Normandie on an April 2009 afternoon

Yes, life goes
Onward...
