A sad bit of irony to let your council members mull
over: kitty corner from City Hall (the NW corner of
4th St and 3rd Ave S) is a sidewalk heating grate that
has served as a shelter substitute for a homeless
fellow on the coldest nights this winter. He is
usually still sleeping there when I catch my bus to
work at 6 in the morning.
