May 20 Freedom Parkway and Boulevard
I've often seen homeless people on this corner- it was the corner that inspired this project.

A rather 'hip'ly groomed man, about 40, was walking along the trodden grass as cars stopped at the light holding out an old Dunkin Donuts cup. Cars were backed up- it was noon, and I saw him in advance. I rolled down my window so when he got to me he'd stopped. I picked my phone off the passenger seat and placed the lunch there.

"Hi- I have a lunch if you haven't eaten yet," I offered. He hesitated, and looked around in my car, hoping, I assume, I'd have some cash instead. I gave him an out, saying something about maybe he'd already had lunch. "Yeah, thanks anyway, I'm not hungry, I already ate," he said. "Well Good luck," I replied and he walked off. I was sortof stunned for a second, and was about to roll up the window when he came back and said, 'Hey, I changed my mind. I could have it for dinner."
