salvation

That is love for a cause in that weather. I hope it was all worth it when the kids saw the mammoth christmas tree.

God bless them wherever they are now

This photo blogged for a rhyme at NYC Rhymology. Thanks, L of C.

2 things--I believe this is 14th looking up broadway (since the question was raised) and that thing behind the lady, now has a statue of Gandhi on it. (I would not have picked him, but they did not ask me-lol) Does this woman look black to anyone else? I think she is, which means the Salvation Army was intergrated when almost nothing else was. Unless they only used blacks for this kind of weather. hee hee Even if she is white, they probably were intergrated. addie B)

Some biographical info on C-B-C here (warning - pdf).

I read the bio - and added a tag, "mule." This doesn't appear to be a horse, folks. Mules are smart and long on endurance.

It is a horse- Just because it is ugly doesn't make it a mule. It's ears are too small to be a mule

It's a horse. This horse is a descendant of the horses that the Spanish brought over and is typically called a "cayouse," after the native tribe that used them. Look at some of Remington's works and you will see that most of the Indian and cow ponys of that time were like this pony. A tough breed and hard worker.

This is definitely not a mule -- the tag should be removed. It's a horse that's not especially attractive, but not necessarily a cayuse either -- just a good, sturdy horse of mixed breed, apparently roan in color. Frankly as long as the "mule" tag is removed the breed doesn't much matter.

This photo was taken during the Depression and I bet shelter conditions have not changed since then. It may be just as crowded and no more welcoming today.

Much better now . . . still not as good as it will be, but a residence for men on the way to self-sufficiency. Now at 811 Maynard Av S, Seattle WA 98134
