Homeless in the City: The Public Library Colony (Episodes 1 and 2)

Image
  The Roaring Heights Public Library, after years of neglect, underwent some renovations. Unfortunately for the general public, the funds ran out, and upgrading the upper two levels was stalled indefinitely. This was a boon for the city's homeless who found their way to the upper floor and silently set up housekeeping there. Let's take a moment to meet the members of the homeless colony. Carmen Arroyo is a hopeful musician. He has been living on the streets since he aged out of foster care. He takes an interest in teens because as a teen he and his younger siblings were separated and placed in different foster homes after being removed for a dangerous domestic situation. They quickly lost track of each other, and so Carmen is quick to bond with teens he meets. Carmen has no sense of humor, is charismatic, athletic, has a green thumb, and is a heavy sleeper.  While he hopes to someday land some gigs as a magician, he is trying to make ends meet as a mixologist at the Luminescen...

 My life is about to change and quickly! Hi, I'm Tony Whiting, soon to be husband of Sondra Mahon. I summoned up the courage, despite my mother looking over my shoulder, to ask Sondra to marry me. Now I have the overwhelming task of providing a place for us to live. I know it's tradition for the bride to plan the wedding, but Sondra asked that I approach the new caterer who moved to town because I had already met her the other day. She also wanted me to go to the City Hall and get the marriage license.

Mom is helping out by giving me the proceeds of the crafted jewelry and other items she has been making recently.  And Dad said he was contributing the stud fees from Eclipse to help out. He's not much of a cowboy, but he does love that horse. He ...

 Hello, I'm Leona Whiting. My family has lived here in Sagehen Mesa and run the Art Barn since my boys were just kids. Now my family is nearly all grown up! My boys Tony and Nick are young adults itching to leave the nest, and my daughter Lara is a teen going to her first prom.  Tony has been working at the consignment store while taking online courses to become a pharmacist. He just completed his training and will be applying to work at the hospital real soon. He's fixing to propose to the Mahon girl and hopes to find a place to live in the immediate future. He's hoping that now that he's done with school, he can focus on saving up for a down payment on a house for the two of them. Nick has been working at the bistro for quite awhile. He's getting ready to move out and has spoken to Paul Culpepper about renting out their modular home by the fishing hole.  As I said earlier, Lara is getting ready to go to her first prom. She doesn't have a date, but she says a l...
