CORRECTIONS:
- The Lazarus Day Center, a Pioneer Square respite for 150 elderly homeless men [and women], has closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, not Wednesdays and Thursdays, as was earlier reported (“Out on the Street,” RC March 20 – April 2)
- Also, a clarification. Construction at the Municipal Building will not cause its 50-bed men’s shelter to close. It will stay open until May 1, and then move to another location while its current location is demolished.
Opinion: Blowback. Watching the Bush v. Hussein play-by-play, we’re missing the real cost of the war, right here at home. By Congressman Jim McDermott.
