Since Ken made a similar comment earlier today I've poked around online today and it appears that city owned shelters don't charge and certainly no one's turned away due to lack of funds. I do know that there are a number of rooming houses in the neighbourhood near which he was panhandling that offer furnished rooms for the night. They're pretty nasty places, but not as nasty as the shelters. Maybe that's what he needed the $20 for. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
