been watching them make these sculptures for a year but didn’t realize they were intended to go up there
I have been watching these sculptures (which can be found on Manhattan Avenue north of Ash Street) as well! Some of them are quite beautiful. I will definitely have to swing by and see this in person!

Yesterday yours truly took it easy. However, as the afternoon whiled on I found myself drawn (by virtue of the lovely weather) to go on a little walk. Follows are some highlights from my sojourn. Enjoy!

The homeless camp at Manhattan Ave St. End Park is expanding. There’s a tent, laundry in the tree, and a small covered ditch which I suspect is the toilet.

Earlier this week I broke the news that 400 McGuinness Boulevard may very well become a 200 bed homeless facility. If what I found in my inbox is any indication, this may not be such a bad thing. For a city that purportedly never sleeps, I seem to find people getting a little shut eye damned near everywhere nowadays. This is especially true of our precious (and, it should be noted: poorly managed) park space. What makes this case special is, well, see for yourself…

This particular group has been camping out in Manhattan Ave St. End Park for about a week now. Their group is getting bigger & they now have a blow up mattress & other gear there…
WOW.
