As of late, I’ve been frequently going to fast food places for my evening meal. Places like Wendy’s, El Polo Loco, McDonald’s, etc.. I began noticing that the night crowd got their orders to go and very few were eating inside these places. I soon got a rude awakening. Many of the homeless go inside to get out of the cold, clean up, buy something and hang out as long as they can.
