Got a dolla for the bride?
June is for brides.  White gowns, flowers, ringing church bells, and receptions with 300 of your closest friends drinking more booze than they consumed in four years of college all because it is being paid for by the bride’s dad.  A wedding is a special time.  Which is why savvy bums know that people attending wedding in all their finery with expensive gifts in the car waiting to be presented at the reception are more than happy to part with a dollar in the parking lot of the church rather than worry if their car is being ransacked during the wedding.

We need air to grow!
Memphis is tops in many things.  Great BBQ, Live Music, Crazy Political Leaders and Bums.  Our parks are full of them tainting the wooden benches with a stench of stale body odor and urine to the point that tourist, families and pets can’t enjoy many of our parks without fear of catching some sort of illness.  Our city is so full of panhandlers that almost every street corner is packed with people panhandling change that you become numb to their existence.  Then one steps up their bum game giving us something to take pride in as a city knowing that our bums are in a class by themselves.

The BoxmanYou will find them in nearly every city:  the homeless, the disenfranchised, panhandlers, hobos and bums.  Street people.  They will ask you for absolutely anything:  spare change, a cigarette, a light, the time of day.  They may even tell you an elaborate story about their plight involving a broken down car and a pregnant wife.

Every time you walk down the street, you are almost certain to be accosted by a street person begging for something, and each encounter raises a personal dilemma: "Is this a scam, or is this person truly needy?"

Street-People.com was created to chronicle the stories of the homeless and raise awareness of the continuing problem of homelessness through the use of humor. Here they are entertainment, like creatures in an online petting zoo without the urine smell.
