Homeless in Boston

By weeklydig on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 10:50 am

Our office is directly across from the Pine Street Inn so we have our fair share of homeless wanderers in the neighborhood. Occasionally they come into our building and hang out on the stairs or even, like just the other day, come into our office and move into our bathroom. It's worst when it's really cold and I always feel torn about booting these folks. Life must be hard enough. But at the some time...get the hell out of my office! What would you do?


I had a similar issue when I lived in Allston (surprise!). The lock/buzz on our front door didn't work and homeless guys would always be passed out on the stairs. Since there as an elevator and I lived on the 6th floor I found it disheartening and sketchy. One time the guy did not stir and I had to call 911 which was a mess. Then, this one dude slept and lived at the top of the stairs on the small platform and you could hear him snoring through the stairwell. Not sure advice here but I feel you.. I would get them out because you don't know if the word is being spread which starts a party! gl

It is really difficult for the homeless people to live outside at the cold weather, and most of the time we are not able to help them enough. I guess, there is no harm if they come into your office and use your bathroom unless they mean to do something wrong. Just try to bear with them and think that you could be one of them. And thank God that you have an office and bathroom.

By hilary_jane on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 6:08 pm

 

Like a cool kid, I slept through my alarm back in Boston yesterday morning, scrambled to finish packing before my last minute cab showed up, and then forked over $40 for said cab to drag my sleepy ass to Logan for my flight to SXSW.

Copeland/ I Can Make A Mess at Middle East 3/6/10

The Middle East is a great venue when it's kind of full--but it can be a mess when it's completely sold out.
