The recent travels by the Street-People.com staff to photograph street people got us thinking. Although we where inspired by the myriad of street people in our hometown, the bounty of bum goodness is shared in cities large and small across the globe. Many visitors to the website have sent us pictures, shared stories, and even a few bought t-shirts emblazoned with our mascot: The Boxman. We really appreciate those people.If this collection of digital mess is the online home for the homeless, then where is the home for the homeless? What town, city, state or downtown district has the best collection of street people? We are not talking just straight up homeless but the full spectrum of street people – the scammers, cajolers, truly lost, and those that have just given up on life. Does one town outshine another?

We have covered how in Europe homeless people took over an abandoned building and turned it into a home, in Czechoslovakia they have a floating barge that houses the homeless as they try and get these people into social programs and off the street, most recently we visited Boston observing that the aroma coming off the bums in that town is as fragrant as a crock of baked beans. So where is the “Home for the Homeless 2007”? There is nothing up for grabs other than the title – that and us taunting the winning city officials, media and Chamber of Commerce with letters and handmade awards that we plan on creating out of an old trophy that one of the street people gave to us for a little bit of scratch.So which city do you think should win?
