Of the 12k housed in San Antonio, 3500 are at Windsor Park Mall at any given time. This is an empty Mall in an area of the city that's seen the "money" move elsewhere.
Directly across the street, in the city of Windcrest, a gas station/convenience store has "run out of supplies" (toilet paper, paper towels, soap,etc) about twice a week.
Stopped by 2 weeks ago and the lady I buy my lottery tickets from was in tears, and about at the end of her rope..having been yelled at, spit on and generally treated like garbage.
After the first wave arrived post Katrina, I looked for a worthy recepient (chose an elderly man in a wheel chair) and gave him a $20 bill. He seemed genuinely grateful and I felt good, too. Unfortunately, I won't be going there to dispense charity again..for the simple reason crime has spiked in that area. Initially, the paper reported "no significant" rise in police calls. That's changed, however...as has the general atmosphere in this area of the city.
