Glad to Be Selling the Paper and Having Known Brian

by Tammy

I’ve been a vendor of the Street Chronicle for about 2 ½ years. “Chatty Cathy”, someone I know from my neighborhood was a vendor at the time, and she approached me about selling the Street Chronicle.

I decided to sell the paper because I wanted to get the news out about homeless people. I’ve been homeless, myself, so I thought that this would be a good opportunity to give back.

The training was okay, the money used to be pretty good, but since the parking lot at The West Side Market has been revamped, the money is not as good as it used to be. I love working with people and making them smile, and selling the Chronicle at the Market has given me an opportunity to do that.

One unexpected bonus: a copy of a photo taken of me selling the Chronicle was on display in an art gallery and was displayed at University Hospitals in the last year.

Like me, Brian Davis has a heart of gold and has worked hard to improve the lives of people who are homeless. He can be comical at times, and makes me laugh, but he is very serious when it comes to the plight of homeless people. It has been a blessing to work with Brian Davis and he will truly be missed.
