Teresa Cooper begins the dialogue about women in skid row

Theresa Cooper was a new manager when tragedy struck the end of last summer. The property manager was in Hawaii on vacation and had left his two assistant managers in charge. One person died at the Brownstone Hotel as a result of the heatwave and many in this building were on the brink of death as the manager who was senior to Theresa Cooper had her lock, at night , the only air conditioned space in the building , as well as having the air conditioning turned off in that lobby of this hotel.

Needless to say, that no one was held accountable for this.

But yesterday, Theresa Coopers stood with Antonio Villaraigosa and John Edwards to speak on behalf of a group of people that have been ignored on skid row for many years , until the Union Rescue Mission worked to bring Hope Garden's , this group being women with children and women period.

It is good to know that my manager, who took it upon herself earlier this summer, when we had the small heatwave, to do education in this building on the subject of keeping cool. The senior manager who had given the order to turn off the air conditioning and lock the door at night to the only air conditioned space in the building during last August's and Early September's heatwave was fired.
Unfortunately, there are two documentaries coming out the end of this year that will detail the horrible summer of heat when the tenants residing in SRO Housing Corporation will be speaking, along with others residing in skid row ,on the issue of how these rooms turn into ovens during the summer months. And that incident will be mentioned.

Congratulations to Theresa Cooper for speaking up on our behalf. It looks like, if left to her own devices and not accountable to the incompetent, Theresa Cooper can be a great advocate.

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
