That is great! There are no "drop in" showers here and I work in the heart of the city and there are a lot of homeless even around my building. And no public restrooms. City FINALLY tossed a couple portapotties behind my building as people were (and still are) complaining about the public urnination and worse (ahem). -There are public showers available about 20 miles away on the Erie Canal - but that's for the people bicycling/boating up the canal and beyond. New bus station is going in and there was a push to get showers in there (mostly from my one bicycle group for the long distance bicyclists) but that was quickly taken off the table. Her idea and tenacity is really great!

Her idea and tenacity is really great!

The only better thing than this would be actually inviting people to come over for a shower.
It is too bad not enough invites go out making projects like this necessary.

I have my fan club on the street. James the giant of a man who hangs on the same street corner - we've had a sandwich or two, Dennis of my world (cause he starts all conversation with "Well in my world" got him some work at some different bicycle events - I usually see him with him collecting cans and up to his armpit in the dumpsters - he has his "route" everyday, old man with twinkly eyes who sits all day on a bench on the bridge - I usually give a few dollars to. And several other people as well.
