A man from Memphis, Tenn., said he has come to New Orleans to do something about the homeless situation that has been exacerbated since Hurricane Katrina.
Back in Tennessee, Wayne Andrews runs a Web site, www.street-people.com, featuring photos and descriptions of the homeless there. Andrews has come here to do the same thing in New Orleans.
But some people might not appreciate Andrews’ methods.
His Web site features some unflattering photos and sometimes cruel descriptions of the homeless in Tennessee. In one post, “The Trash Lady,” a photo shows a woman digging in a garbage can in Nashville. The accompanying description refers to her “top notch bum skills.”
Needless to say, Andrews’ arrival in New Orleans has angered some advocates for the homeless.
