When President Obama visits Alaska August 28-September 2nd he is likely to have a busy schedule, yet I hope he has time to visit the very crowded Anchorage homeless shelter and Bean's cafe that serves food to the homeless. Of course the President should take care about catching pneumonia there-a late director of Bean's named Crockett perished from that illness two or three years ago.
The St. Francis Shelter is usually very crowded. When Senator Sullivan was mayor of Anchorage he outlawed sleeping in city parks so the homeless were forced in to the shelter where they slept shoulder to shoulder on the floor-some having already contracted cases of frostbite. Perhaps the President could stimulate construction of a another shelter, though land, paradoxically, is tight in Anchorage.
