Life in the big city

I was almost done with a brisk walk up and down Fayetteville Street when I walked past the corner CVS. Some guy was sitting on the ground outside the store as a cop was pulling a pack of pilfered candy bars out of the guy’s hoodie pocket. He was being cuffed just as a patrol car was pulling up.

And people wonder why there isn’t more retail downtown. At least that guy won’t be spending a freezing night on the streets.
