Hi. I'm Cody Maxwell, and though it probably doesn't matter at this point, I'd like to make a minor correction to this story. I didn't write that monologue mentioned here. I put together a story for the Pulse, a local newsweekly, and in the course of that collected writings from area homeless men and women and the Pulse published verbatim what writings these people gave me. The monologue used in the play was not written by me, but by a young homeless man. I didn't write it.
There's a Bi-Lo and Dollar Store within walking distance from Alton Park, and the Carta buses stop in their parking lot on the Alton Park route everyday.
That's terribly sad.
Very nice story.
he has a funny haircut, too
this is disgusting. absolutely disgusting. whoever moderates these posts should delete all of this. none of you represent anything besides yourselves, and you all fit perfectly into one bigoted, filthy group. you are all uneducated and all of you are embarrassing. this is the reason random shots are fired into random crowds--all of you should try to understand why that is
but, zjcavan, is this really news and worthy of space in the newspaper? how many people are caught with drugs everyday--check the city court dockets. this story served no other purpose than to make fun of this woman and consequentially humiliate her family. the point is that this is more worthy of a mention in a jay leno skit than in a supposedly respectable newspaper. it's trash, not news
I agree with the above. Some of these writers like to embellish and spin stories like this with complete disregard to what might be the real truth and the consequences family members might suffer. Remember the story about the woman who committed suicide last year, which began: "It was the buzzards that found her" or something like that--sickening. So much for fair and impartial--some of these are stories are indecent.
These types of fatalistic politics make me sick. The only thing that makes me sicker is how true the image really is. Jivvery kudos, Clay.
Either you're "far" this or you're an "extreme" this, or you're not in the race. Compromising means you have no backbone and will ruin the hopes of everybody.
Pick a side--
