The hippies and the misfits just showed up for the free food, lodging and weed.
And to feel as though their empty lives had meaning.
Not very many hardcore hippies. They’re bunched up inside the intersection of 1st and Main.
Actually, they said about 70% were homeless. If you are going to be homeless, good weather LA is the place to do it.
Skid Row is 2 blocks away.
The police come, you shuffle to the next outpost. Sniffle.
