  1. Housing works has really caved in on itself much like covenant house did some time ago. They’re focus has shifted from providing services to the needy to providing fiscal benefits to its greedy shareholders. Displacing and already underserved and highly marginalized percentage of society at large. Greed.

    Does anyone recall…”The Schitpit” on West Street, off W.11th in the disco 70’s? (Yes,that was the real name of the place.) It was a tiny bar on that seedy stretch of West Street, one block North of Ramrod. That strip was notorious for being very seedy and dangerous at night and ran from Barrow Street, where The flea-bag, Keller Hotel, stood and ground level was Keller’s Bar. The next corner was Christopher Street and Badlands and moving North was Sneakers, Peter Rabbit and The Schitpit Bar up to Bank Street. All were located across from the elevated and defunct old West Side Highway where Marsha Johnson often slept in a refrigerator box under the highway. The area was drug infested and had male hookers , tranny prostitutes, runaways, the deranged and desperate and the homeless and everything else the dark side of life had to offer in Queer New York in those fabulous 70’s.😱
