Been wanting to post this somewhere.
A bit of background not covered here. This intersection is near several shelters and other aid. It’s exactly like you’d expect with the description. A lot of people hanging out, looking not rich. I go through here, alone, frequently. The only thing to be scared of is that it’s also one of the busiest traffic intersections in town. Cars mostly just got off the freeway and are heading up a 4 lane road. And again, it’s exactly as you’d expect.
