While there are still far too many empty storefronts, we have a nice downtown, and the streetscapes with trees and wide sidewalks are inviting. I was telling a friend about it, and we both noted the lack of one of the biggest complaints by some concerning downtown – the presence of homeless individuals.
It was a damp and cool morning, and if this were 2019 or before, there would have been homeless men and women sleeping under awnings and in doorways downtown. If you were around Anderson then, you remember it well. This morning, there were zero homeless individuals downtown, much less anyone sleeping in doorways, and I was there for well over an hour.
