true adventures of an urban pioneer

Filed under:, , , , , — Chris @ 11:52 pm

So, I’ve been sick all weekend, and pretty much slept it all way, but by tonight I felt like I needed some fresh air, so I went out for a nightly constitutional. A cop stopped me on the way back. Actual exchange:

Cop: Hey, where are you going with that camera? What are you going to take pictures of?
Me: Well, actually I’m just goin h–
Cop: Well you should really be walking on 2nd avenue on your way.. If you go down 1st avenue, the homeless down there, they’ll take any opportunity, you know.
Me: Well actually I live on 1st.. but thanks!

Teehee. Silly cop.

But really, he was right. They will take ANY opportunity. I really can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had a homeless guy just spontaneously knit me a sweater when I looked like I was in need of one.

Isn’t that the point? That the homeless will take any opportunity but that most folks won’t offer them any opportunity?

Watch out for those cops on 2nd Avenue…
