Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America

My notes

Instead, I first went to the busiest McDonald’s in the community and hung out, eventually talking to the morning regulars. Then I walked and wandered with no clear goal beyond meeting people and letting their suggestions guide me. I often walked the entire day, stopping in at a McDonald’s to rest and talk to more people.

If they asked directly for money, I tried to keep the amount below $10, the cost of most drugs.
