The Gathering Spot
Today the gathered sit arounds were no where to be found. Usually when I pass, five or six black men of varying ages are shooting the breeze, drinking beer and having a good time. While America has largely become a neighborhood of the non-working such as this, it is never the less refreshing to see people out and having a good time, even though times are not so grand.
Mr Foote
Mr Foote is an 87 year old fellow who lives alone in a tiny, run down, one room wooden home. When I read the meter on his house, I always make sure that I bring him a granola bar or something, which he relishes.
I would like to return one day and just sit on the porch with him, perhaps learning more of his history.
I come upon many such people as Mr Foote, living alone, making do.
