Bridget
Bridget stands at the corner of 5th and San Pedro. She is taking a break from her recycling activities....she spends hours each day, pushing a shopping cart loaded with recyclables. Cans, bottles, metal, plastic, anything at all that she can sell by weight at the recycling center located on Alameda. She routinely digs through garbage bins and mountains of trash piled at street corners to mine for bits she can sell.
Victoria
Victoria stands at the corner of 5th and San Pedro in Skid Row. There were several striking murals on the walls here, and they have unfortunately been erased because the area is being converted to a medical clinic. The corner used to be known as the "Cuban Corner" for the homeless Cuban expatriots who inhabit and do business there. The corner is also known as the "spice corner" because the synthetic cannabinoid known as Spice is bought and sold.
