Baltimore's People Of The Woods: Inside The Hidden Homeless Camps Made Of Milk Crates, Wooden Doors And Tarps On The Outskirts Of Town
A sheet of plastic laid over a clothesline. A mini-fortress of milk crates stacked under a tree. A thin mattress on a flimsy crate lying in a dark tunnel.
On the edge of Baltimore's woodlands, dozens of the city's transients live in makeshift homes which they consider safer than homeless shelters.
Photographer Ben Marcin has captured some of the shanties in his thought-provoking photo essay, 'The Camps', documenting the struggle, loneliness and ingenuity of Maryland's people of the woods.
So sad but Salisbury is no different, many many stand near the entrance to the target/home depot and also on Nanticoke road near dunkin donuts. The homeless also live under bridges and in the woods near the storage buildings off the overhead bridge., near the old firehouse etc. These poor people live a life we are blessed that we aren't. Please donate to habitat, food pantrys and the Joseph House. Then thank God that you have a roof over your head. PAY IT FORWARD Go to your billpay account and enter the Joseph House for five, ten or twenty dollars monthly, you won't even miss it. 99% of the money is used directly for them no big paid ceos AND it is tax deductible. God bless.
A local church was made to clean up an area just like this one after so many complaints were filed. What I don't understand is why people are allowed to stand on street corners and beg with signs?
I wish I would live like that. Living in a tent off the side of the highway. That is no kind of life.

ReplyDeleteget ready america... we'll be seeing a lot more of this
ReplyDeleteThey voted Democrat.
ReplyDeleteThere are tent cities all over the country. I believe the media doesn't report much about this, because it looks bad on Obama and our government.
ReplyDeleteWish they would do a story on Salisbury's.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of this all over.
Time to tell the truth!
