  • In this interview, Lionel opens up about life in Philadelphia. He talks about how he ended up there from Texas, as well as his family back home. He's worried about his Paw-Paw because he said he hasn't spoke to him in a while and he hopes he's still alive. He's also struggling with addiction. He got assaulted recently, and had to get medical treatment for a wound on his head. He hopes to get his life together and get up off the streets and away from drugs.

    He reminds me of my own son. One year ago today , my 33 year old son got on a Greyhound bus and never turned back to the street life or the drugs again. God Bless! He came back home.

      That's so amazing, Windy. That made me so happy to hear that. I'm so glad he made the right choice and got away from that life.
      I was addicted to drugs myself for 18 years. I just hit 10 years clean last month. I remember putting my mother through hell. She was worried sick about me. I know exactly where you're coming from.

      @golddustgypsy6253 I'm actually just fascinated with people's stories. I'm fascinated with life in general. We all pass people on a daily basis and know nothing about them. From the 80 year old grandmother buying milk out of the grocery store to the homeless drug addict sleeping under a bridge. Each and every one of us has been through a series of events that has led us to that one place. To that one current moment in time. How did we take completely different paths through life and end up in the same spot together at the same exact time?

She's passed away now, but I'll love her and be indebted to her forever. My drugs were powder, PCP, ecstacy, etc. I just hit 10 years clean last month.

    Lionel is a good guy, I can easily relate to him in the interview. He seems to be in bad shape and it touched me to see the suffering in his face and his voice. I feel the sadness.
    Sleep must be a big problem for homeless people in Kensington, now even more so after the big "cleanup of Kensinton Av" that the new mayor has instigated. Now cops order people to move on, to leave, they don't let them relax and stay at a place wherever they are, a sort of criminalization of resting or sleeping in a public space.
    Lionel, try to get some help, I wish you all the best, and thank you guys for the interview.
