You're welcome, Cynthia. Isn't it sad? I can't either, but some have been down there long enough they've grown comfortable. Beneath The Neon is a fascinating look at the culture.Thanks for posting:)

Wow. I've never heard of these tunnel people. That photo is haunting, Stacy. I can't imagine feeling safe enough to sleep there, if it were me. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks, Stacy. Yes, there are so many people suffering. Your church has a great program, and there should definitely be more. Good for you for donating. I'm going to look into the churches around here and see if there's anything we can do.

More proof that there's a whole world out there that's real (and great research, too). We have tons of people suffering right here at home. Our church participates in an interfaith program that serves homeless families. It aims to keep families together and children off the street. I've never been able to work as a host (with my wee one at home), but we always make food or donate fruit.

So glad you stopped over from shewrites.CatieSigns of the Zodiac? Never read, but I'll have to check out. It is fascinating. I knew as soon as I read about the tunnels I had to use them. And yes, bit of a research hound, lol!Thanks for the comments!

I learned about this from Vicki Pettersson (who writes the Signs of the Zodiac series). I think the idea is fascinating. I love that you used it for your work in progress. You're as big of a research hound as I am, aren't you?

Yes, it is. I've learned a lot through research in the pst year. Thanks for commenting, and I agree. No matter what hardships we're dealing with, we all have a lot to be thankful for.
