Homeless in Bethesda

A homeless woman has commandeered a park bench on Wisconsin Avenue at the Bethesda Metro station. She’s been on the bench night and day since the end of June.

She has a shopping cart full of her stuff and petunias next to the bench. It’s her 6’ x 6’ piece of land.

More desirable benches exist in the area. A couple of nice parks and a homeless shelter are nearby. But the woman wants to live on Wisconsin Avenue, and so she does.
