Jeffrey
Jeffrey was on the east side of Lower Columbus near Lower Wacker. He was underneath some heating vents to stay warm. He's been down here a week. "My woman kicked me out", he said with a smile. "She's probably missing me already". He lives in the Englewood neighborhood, "but I just stay out of the way because of all the violence. I used to get high to live and live to get high, but not anymore." We talked some more and then he showed me a tattoo on his arm which read 'Hard Penny'. "I was a break dancer and that was my nickname", as he smiled. His message was, "I love myself...you've got to love yourself". He said many other things which I don't remember (but were equally profound), but he has his faith. "It's going to be okay". He definitely wants to get of the street, but in this moment he said, "I am content" (despite this hardship).
