In the 1990s, street youth shelters began offering free computer access, and a number of Web sites either created by street kids or catering to them quickly appeared... On digihitch.com, a portal claiming five thousand members, a query about New Orleans can run to pages of answers from street kids, complete with tips on how to find good squat (ask in Jackson Square), the rules of the street (don't panhandle your first day), and how the police react to street kids (be careful "flying a sign," or using a cardboard sign to beg). A post on hippy.com about Venice Beach includes the local menus (a church that gets donated pastries from Starbucks, a cafe that delivers hot soup and cookies to the street youths)....
More great stuff from All God's Children.
