Park Packed withJobless

June 25, 2009

Balboa Park in Encino was packed this morning.  No special events; just mothers, children, families, single women, groups, you name it. Not really the homeless, either; their recreational vehicles were parked in the lot across the street, camping out for the 77th consecutive day. Jogging around the park, I counted over 200 people before 9:45AM.  I don&;t think they were going to work, either.  It was the reserve army of the unemployed, on the march  jogging strolling biking dog walking fishing.
