There are even shanty-towns and tent cities under some of the elevated roadways around the city. The city and charitable organizations do provide shelters and food for people, especially in winter when it's cold. They drive around town and try to help the people they find in doorways and subway grates.wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-80814057831390876052018-05-28T00:29:16.413+02:002018-05-28T00:29:16.413+02:00I am a bit surprised to see the man.

I lived 19 stops back toward Nation, at Bel-Air. Line 6 was a long ride, with all of those stops. It took a good while to get to Jane's stop.
