Default The wall
Spent over 1 hr at THE WALL today. I only stopped by to sign the petition but ended up helping out. Way too hot out. I met MANY of the local residents that are directly effected by the closer. Many very sad stories and they are very frightened over the closer. These are not whiners but original residents that not longer can drive a car or afford car insurance. One lady had tears in her eyes because she had a Dr.s appointment and couldn't get through. Yes. She could have called a taxi if she knew about the closer but she was going to be late and this really upset her. I met at least 15 people that had no car. When you are elderly just getting through the day is hard without this extreme stress. Had they known ahead of time, they could have changed their banks and their Dr.s. They feel betrayed and I don't blame them. This is a life changing problem for them. We all need to help.
