After summer in Minneapolis parks, homeless seek other spaces for winter
Miguel Otárola, Star Tribune, 10/09/20
“The Logan Park campers will move to the hotel, which is being paid for by nonprofit ZACAH, on Oct. 13. Junail Anderson, who managed the encampment, was already contemplating bringing down some of the tents holding food, clothing and other goods.
Brian Wallace, 50, moved to Logan the same time Anderson set up the camp. He would likely go over to Strong Tower, where Anderson would help run the shelter.
“Where she go, I go,” he said, holding a winter jacket and a pair of shoes he had just picked up. He is in the process of finding a job as an overnight custodian at government buildings downtown.”
