CITY LIVING - nothing like what the advertisements make it out to be. That's odd. I distinctly recall watching a DC Board of Tourism ad involving smiling panhandlers and grinning incontinent homeless people. Totally sold me on the place. Although as a member of the Sierra Club I did find it troubling that they often used squirrels in lieu of toilet paper, but "when in Rome."

Yes Disco - Nothing like having the honeless out where the "limousine liberals" from the bubs can come by to drop off food, balnkets, clothing, etc... then they can go back home & feel so good about themselves. While we the taxpayers, deal with the pan-handling, littler, urination & defecation, etc. And that on top of paying riduculous taxes (income & properyt) taxes a year. CITY LIVING - nothing like what the advertisements make it out to be.

"Since the shelter opened in 2003, its central location has made it popular with many homeless people." No kidding ... sounds like the requests and desires of "paying" residents too. Homeless rights (call me what you will) - you have the right to be homeless, but not the right to cheap room and board on prime real estate

dave - Let's just say I have a hard time following directions. You try fumbling with a pimple for 20 minutes thinking it's a clitoris.

Can't wait for the Franklin Shelter to close ... that area and especially the park across the street is nothing but an open air homeless shelter. There must be better ways and better places to provide services to the homeless which still allow us to enjoy our precious downtown green spaces.

Holy crap, Monkey. May I ask the circumstances surrounding your "stumbling across" the vulva puppet?

It's called "Thursday night dcist staff happy hour." You try posting before 11am with a head full of Bubblegum Mugaritas and a toilet full of Ben's chili cheese fries.

So, another day of corpses and vehicle accidents. Is there NO good news in DC today? NONE? I'll start. I managed to find my lost virginity! Turns out that a crippled newsie with the Wondrous Vulva Puppet had it. I made her give it back.
