So, you think nothing doing on Church Street early Saturday morning.
Thomas, right, has a job, but gets in trouble because Burlington doesn’t have much for the underaged. He slept not in a bed, because Spectrum kicked him out for drinking. “A place can do you a lot of good….The sun comes up faster when you sleep on the street.
Wonderful Charlie. Sweet and cheerful. He needed a place to smoke his cigar and sip his coffee. Couldn’t tell him the City Council has been considering banning smoking on the thoroughfare.
John headed towards Sweet Potato, a free breakfast site in a Church. Makes you almost want to reconsider taxing not-for-profits.
Paul had another bad night on the street.
Sandy just smokes and watches.
Stephanie collects, but not for drugs or booze. “I wash the bottles and give them to the Humane Society. Keeps the streets clean and the animals happy.”
And then there were the bears and pidgeons, natural friends.
Around the corner, some guy slept in City Hall Park, maybe to be the first in line at the Farmer’s Market.
