Grocery Carts for the Homeless

 

We find ourselves in Cobb County’s Town Center area a lot..  Maybe 2 or 3 times weekly.  Mostly we are cutting through on Barrett Parkway.

On Barrett Parkway U.S. Highway I 75 is there with entrance and exit ramps  to and from Barrett Parkway.  

I noticed on the two entrance ramps (North and South) there are almost always unclaimed grocery shopping carts.

I have seen many homeless people push around grocery carts with their belongings in them.  That way, their stuff in right in front of them, they can keep their eye on all their belongings.

So, why empty carts at the beginning of entrance ramps?

I think when the homeless decided to move on and would have to leave his cart vehicle there.  He/she would never get picked up hitchhiking on the expressway if they kept their grocery carts.

Yesterday, near a ramp entrance  was a row of maybe 9 or 10 carts, of different colors, like red Target, metallic for Krogers, and blue ones too.

I think a good Samaritan collected them all up   and hopefully then put at the two incoming ramps for newcomers..... like saying WELCOME!
