Man in Elmo suit used to be working in Times Square( heard all this on the radio)--is some illegal immigrant who rents the costume and then poses for pictures with tourists.
There is a catch: Vietnam veterans get a preference for vendor's licenses for Times Square ( "One of the crumbs they throw us," said one bitterly)--
Elmo has moved to Herald Square and here is just begging...
Sign in window shows face of man saved by the Bowery Mission...
Old homeless woman sits with her rags in Herald Square.
These are not the most pleasing of images but there are much worse things going on in this City....
