[caption id="attachment_893" align="alignnone" width="497"] Stix on West Broadway showing off the keys to his new life, which is like his old life, minus the parkade. Click picture to enlarge.[/caption]
After a fair bit of waiting and tooing-and-froing, particularly on the part of his advocate at the MPA centre at 7th and Fir, Stix has a bed-sit room to call his own in the Downtown Eastside. He's happy to have a place, but he's happy to get out of the Downtown Eastside every day to get back to the corners in neighbourhoods like Fairview, where he pan-handles all day, just like always. So he's still on the street, he's just not sleeping there, which is fine by him. See the joke he inspired.
