Ever wonder where and how some homeless people stay relatively clean and perform their morning routine?  Well maybe not all homeless people are clean, but there are a number of highly functioning men and women that have found hard times and have become homeless. 

Midtown Patch does not know this man's personal situation, but we are impressed by the level of detail and ingenuity he is displaying. He seems to have a washing section and a drying section, neatly laid out and prepared.
