I met Earl yesterday in the middle of the street… I asked for a little bit of his time and gave him $10 to find out his story. Earl is 32 years old and he and his dog JoJo travel back and forth from New Hampshire trying to put together some kind of minute by minute existence… “Everyday is a new adventure trying to stay way from them damn cops…” He will hitch hike and hop freighter trains to get to this spot. “The snow makes it hard on us and I can’t wait to get warm”. This time he’s here to see his girlfriend who works the opposite corner about six blocks away. They find refuge in an abandoned house in South Philly and as Earl put’s it ” …to try and stay invisible”. He says Philly is the roughest town he knows but somehow the people are the most generous… “they even bring me dog food!” I’m glad I payed attention to that nudge to go up and meet him. Hopefully, I will be able to say hi again when it gets warm.
Ed. I’m glad you found the time to stop and chat with Earl Great picture and story. Thanks.
This is my first visit here, but I will be back soon, because I really like the way you are writing, it is so simple and honest
No, not at all. It’s my profession. As I come across interesting subjects in my business, I blog about them
Thank You!
Yes, this kind of sharing works best.
