There must be a lot of singing drunks/homeless dudes in Buffalo. I remember like 4 years ago I was outside of what was then the Backstage Pub, and this dude was singing for money and he sang some Lynyrd Skynyrd song or something and I gave him all my change and like 2 bucks. I told him to go get some 40’s or something. He was mad good. ---

when i was there last winter, i remember specifically, them sleeping on the sewer grates because of the warmer air that comes out of them. most would probobly be shocked at how many of these “bums” are professionals who have a nice house and nice family. begging is their full time job, and they do well. not all of them obviously, but it is something i heard of being common up there. ---

Go to NYC. On the walk to breakfast I had to step over a guy sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk at 10am. Not in a doorway or alley, just middle of the sidewalk. No one seemed to notice. ---

It’s easy to judge their situation in the context of our lives, but that doesn’t mean it’s a realistic impression. ---
