Tim Lane's Hopeville Journal

A A A Comments (5) By Timothy Lane Thursday, Sep 22 2011

Summer 2011. Let's say you enter Hopeville from the north side, from Mullanphy Street, a couple of blocks east of First Street. On the left is a big sign that reads "Welcome to Hopeville, USA."

Hopeville is not new. In the 1970s there were hobo camps along not developed Missouri stretches of the Mississippi River. ("... When you come down to the river, bet you're gonna find some people who live. You don't have to worry; girl you got no money, people on the river happy to give: Big Wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin' ...") But Tim Lane has done a wonderful job depicting the 2011 homeless situation. IMO Tim Lane deserves St. Louis historians' thanks (and every body hopes that the 2011 homeless situation improves).

The dirtiness and scars of reality aren't necessary all the time and I like the focus on the people. This is a gorgeous work of a small piece of St. Louis living history, and wouldn't have been as memorable in photographs.

Mr Lane, How about some illustrations showing what hopeville really look like , the 40OZ beer cans, the empty Night Train and MD20/20 bottles, the used needles. this would be more of an accurate depiction of hopeville
