Street Sense is a bi-weekly D.C. newspaper focused on topics related to people who are homeless or at the margins of being homeless. We buy and the read the newspaper when we can.
Two things make Street Sense unique. The newspaper is sold around the city by people who are homeless. The price is $2.00 and the seller keeps some of the money and returns the balance to the paper's publisher. A win-win for all involved.
Another unique feature is some of the newspaper's content is written by the people who sell it. Giving a voice to people at the margins of society is a good thing.
Susan picked up the latest edition of Street Sense and noticed a story (copied below). A first reaction to the story might be amusement. A second reaction is probably more heartfelt and personal.
