on Santa Monica
February 1st, 2007
There a lot of homeless people in Santa Monica.
Okay I told you that already but here’s the interesting thing — there are a lot of people who LOOK homeless in Santa Monica but I really suspect they’re not.
And vice verse.
The homeless here are generally better dressed than any homeless I’ve ever seen.
For instance, I’m walking down the Third Street Promenade (kind of like Lincoln Road on South Beach) only to see a well-kept young man (wool suit, waist coat, hair brushed, acceptable amount of scruff) sitting on a bench talking into his headset.
Not homeless, right?
Then I realize… there’s no headset. And he’s not so much talking as he is preaching to an imaginary crowd. About Hitler and the end of the world.
DEFINITELY homeless?
Bit of a mindf*ck, no?
