We used to live across from a bustling elementary and middle school. We now live across from this.
Our unhoused neighbor is quiet and very orderly, though like most of us, seems to accumulate new possessions. The situation is unstable as winter closes in, but we can't expect the city to do anything helpful. Let's hope they don't do anything actively unhelpful, like seize the stuff. That we've learned.
On weekdays next to the school, the line for coronavirus tests forms early, carefully socially distanced.
It took the city nine months to get around to setting up this neighborhood testing site -- but better late than never.
Though our accumulation of masks hang by the front door, it still takes effort of will to remember to wear them. We go out very little.
I have a small collection, also slightly used as I rarely leave home either. Be well.
ReplyDeleteMy collection of masks sits in a bowl once washed. How many people live in that collection? If you know. Hope no children but wouldn't be surprised of a dog.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie -- no child or dog over there. The school was actually using a gym for families of unhoused students before the pandemic started, though it turned out that the presence of social workers and some meals mattered more to folks than sleeping in a gym.
