Ryan - a photo on Flickriver

Ryan

            [Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19.  I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].  
Ryan sells Sun-Times newspapers on the corner of Randolph and Dearborn, by McDonald's.  He is always there, with his Sun-times gear on.  Today around lunchtime, I saw him panhandling.  We talked and he was telling me that he sells papers, but he's trying to do what he can to make more money.  The place he stays charges $17 rent per night.  There's "chicken wire" around it and people sell drugs there.  He said at one point he was staying with a cartel boss, but "you don't cross him or they'll find someone to kill you!"  He's been out here for about five years, selling papers.  "If I was president", he said, "I'd build housing for the homeless".
