Street cement

During work on the corner of 17th and L Streets NW, in 2016, a construction worker suggested "You say 'Street Sense' 100 times a day, why don't you write it in cement?"

Street Sense helps the homeless one vendor at a time. Which begs the question, is being homeless a crime?

There are cities that have laws against panhandling and feeding groups of people. Now, imagine those folks that enforce those laws, worshipping under a steeple.

Street Sense is a publication where your donation is well spent. So much so, I had to write it in cement. Then a customer came by and made an imprint.

You can make an imprint too, by supporting a vendor near you.

PS — To continue my silent protest, I ask that all customers mail a copy of this paper to the White House. Thank You.
