This amputee beggar regularly hit the streets in front of the shelter he called home. I would usually drop some change in his hat when I saw him. I always had mixed emotions about that. I suspected that the money was going for cigarettes and alcohol, not food, clothing or shelter. This photo was taken on Addison near Wrigley Field. He told me that he had not missed a home game in 22 years, and that he stood in the same spot for all of them.
