Camps On Street Edge Find Shelter In Junkyard Homes
A group of 22 to 44 year olds live in a makeshift camp built from discarded items near Ninth and Muskingum. They survive on dumpsters and meals from a long-time “sandwich lady,” while few can find steady work in a tight market. Residents defend their close knit life, though some dream of a hotel, and one owner allows the camp to stand a short distance from Colonial properties. The camp sits about five feet high and is surrounded by debris, yet they call each other friends and cope with humor and resilience.
