A small pack of us, in bright orange vest, approached them as they tossed a bag of drugs up in the rafters. After presumably giving us fake names, they welcomed us to party with them anytime. Census don’t judge.

I circled around the Best Buy parking lot a few times to witness everything happen.

The dude is absolutely haggard, and the inside, looks almost inhabitable… I mean, he has literally only room to lay down and pass out. Its pretty messed up….

Back in the 90s, the car’s windows were all original and intact, even the small vent windows.
He would pretty much sleep in the car sitting behind the wheel – totally minding his own business. Back then most of his stuff was in the trunk and the interior of the car was comparatively clean. But time really has taken a toll on the car, plus all the scumbags that lurk around there have made life shit for him.
I guess there was a time that he felt safe in the area, and now I don’t think he can roll it anyplace else safely; maybe he feels that he’s familiar with his surroundings so moving isn’t an option.
Too bad he can’t score a place in public housing like some of the places between Fulton and Eddy; taking the wreck with him, but have a roof over his head and some facilities.

The car didn’t look in bad shape to me, aside from all the tape. Body looks pretty straight and complete, only surface rust, etc. Fine candidate for resto!

Talked to him a couple times. Not exactly an extrovert, but seemed nice enough. And, yeah, HDPDV, I think as recently as a fewyears ago, you could at least see inside through some windows
