Huh. I live right by this bridge, and had no idea what it is called or why. As for the homeless folks that people just walk by ignoring... what else do you do? You don't say hi to everyone you pass right? I help whenever I'm asked, but otherwise we all just live our lives. It's not a life I'd want for sure, but as you said, there are hundreds (actually well over a thousand), homeless in Edmonton (and given the rising cost of rents, it's bound to just keep going up). What's one person to do? I've given blankets, dinners, groceries, and bought a bike off of one fellow down there. It's overwhelming to people I think. Cool that you're biking across Canada. Hope it goes well.
Cheers,
Melissa

I met this wonderful lady at the dog off-leash area of Hermitage park in Edmonton, Alberta. I was walking my 3 dogs, Frankie (shorn Sheltie), Zip (tall lanky black guy) and Brewster (chow with a lion clip). We spoke for a while and you took a pic of Brewster with his untidy lion clip (he loves it, keeps him cool and all the kids think he's a lion). I admire your spirit. It's all about the journey, no matter how long or short. The destination is really in the journey. God bless you and keep you safe. It brightened my day to meet you. I know you'll have that effect on many souls along the way. :)
