ominous

[foxtongue]

Riding through Crackton this morning, there was no one on the street. It was suspicious, so suspicious, even the Theives Market was gone. The corner of Pigeon Parked looked like an abandoned movie set. Benches were not huddles of homeless, forts of shopping carts and tattered blankets, shouting about drugs, threats, or Jesus. I could see police farther down one street, bunched at the mouth of an alley, clapping their dark gloved hands together against the chill, but no other evidence of anything that could have happened. My bus went by too fast. Yesterday our regular junk strip was our regular junk strip, all howling, dirty, and dangerous for tourists. Where did everyone go?

Yeah... seeing as it was a really cold night that night, depending on how early in the morning you were heading through, it could also be because of the new zero barrier shelters.

They actually are getting used, quite a bit, especially because they allow carts, pets, drunks, and drug users which many shelters previously did not allow. The numbers on how much they are being used is phenomenal.
