I'm hooked. I will try to pay no mind to the comments left criticizing a person for exposing more of us to a problem we are all aware of as residents of both Los Angeles and the United States, but choose to ignore because we can. Thank you Sam Slovick for putting your time, talent and energy where your mouth is! I look forward to being further informed as I realize that I have allowed myself for too long to refer to Skid Row as a figment of folklore rather than facing the harsh reality of a dark shadow one can only see by turning around and facing it. Good Magazine is also a fantastic discovery for me!
