I LIVE IN A VILLAGE ON THE COAST OF WASHINGTON.
MY WIFE AND I MOVED HERE TO GET AWAY FROM ALL OF THE JUNKIE BUMS WHO HAVE CONGREGATED IN MOST OF THE CITIES ALONG INTERSTATE 5.
YOU CAN DRIVE ALL THE WAY FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER TO THE CANADIAN BORDER AND ANY EXIT THAT YOU TAKE THERE WILL BE EITHOR: A PANHANDLER OR A CAMP.
THERE ARE BLUE TARPS EVERYWHERE; WITH UNWASHED PERSONS ROAMING THE STREETS YELLING AT EACH OTHER AND OFTEN FIGHTING BUT LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THIS LINK BEFORE I GO ON ,
NOW; I STARTED OUT IN SEATTLE WHEN I ORIGINALY MOVED HERE IN THE 1980`S. IT WAS A RELATIVELY CLEAN FRIENDLY CITY SO TO AN OUTSIDER IT SEEMED LIKE EDEN.
I WOUND UP LIVING IN BELLINGHAM BECAUSE I FOUND A BUISNESS OPORTUNITY THERE BUT I HAVE BEEN IN AN OUT OF SEATTLE FOR YEARS.
WHAT HAPPENED REALLY BEGAN WHEN THE ECONOMY FAILED. SHORTLY AFTER OBAMA SEIZED POWER AND LOCALLY THERE WAS A SURGE OF DO-GOODERS INSPIRED TO MAKE A KINLY DIFFERENCE; MAKING SANDWICHES FOR THOSE DISPLACED BY LOSS OF INCOME ECT.
IN 2012 WASHINGTON VOTERS APROVED THE LEGALISATION OF POT; SEEMINGLY A GOOD THING; SAVE SOME LAW ENFORCEMENT MONEY AND SAVE COLKLEGE KIDS FROM HAVING A RECORD.
THUS BEGAN A DIASPORA OF STREET PERSONS FROM AROUND THE NATION.
EVERYBODY HEARD.
EVERYBODY WANTED TO COME HERE.
IT HAS BEEN GRADUAL.
PEOPLE WITH CARS AND VANS CAME SLOWLY AS GAS CAN BE HARD TO AQUIRE BY PANHANDLING AND OTHERS HITCHHIKED.
STORIES AND RUMORS CIRCULATE ABOUT JUDGES IN OTHER CITIES AND STATE SENTANCING HOMELESS OFFENDERS TO ONE-WAY BUS TICKETS TO SEATTLE.
THE POINT BEING A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION ON THE WEST COAST ARE NOT FROM THE WEST COAST AT ALL BUT ARE USING HOMELESS SERVICES TO THE POINT OF OVERBURDEN. ANY INCOME THESE PEOPLE RECIEVE GOES TOWARDS DRUGS AND ALCOHOL WHILE DESERVING PERSONS DISPLACED BY THE ECONOMY AND RISING HOUSING COSTS SUFFER. ONE CAN SEE ELDERLY PERSONS PUSHING WALKERS WITH ALL THEIR BELONGINGS WHILE YOUNG ABLE BODIED MEN SHOOT UP UNDER BLUE TARPS.
AND THE PROBLEM IS MADE WORSE BY BEING A SANCUARY STATE.
ALL OF THE ILLEGALS ARE BEING HOUSED
We have all heard the tragic story of the early morning of march 6, 1836; how the brave defenders fought to the last man and inspired the world.
And since the battle there have been many stories of ghostly encounters in and around the old mission, stories which are attributed to the heros; but possibly the Alamo was a haunted place before those men died there.

The Alamo was never intended to be a fort; that was not the purpose of the builders instead it was intended to shelter the priests who operated the mission and any local natives who accepted the civilizing influence of the church. The Mission San Antonio de Valero, named for St. Anthony of Padua, on the banks of the San Antonio River around 1718. because of the constant threat of attacks by Comanche and Apache war parties; They also established the nearby military garrison of San Antonio de Béxar, which soon became the center of a settlement known as San Fernando de Béxar (later renamed San Antonio). The Mission San Antonio de Valero housed missionaries and their Native American converts for some 70 years until 1793.
What remains today is very little of the actual fort; but looking at old diagrams one can see how the situation probably changed the structure and inhibited it`s intended purpose. One would think that the stables or the blacksmith would be outbuildings but what one finds is one wall of the “fort” (long vanished) is a long row of adobe shacks with the spaces between filled with earth and rocks, and walls were placed to provide some protection at either end. This coupled with the fact that the chapel roof was never completed until fairly modern times, long after the battle would lead one to surmise that the early residents of Bexar may have had a stressful exsistence.
That people were killed violently on the site before the Texas Revolution is certainly easy to assume. The actual fort was quite large and rumors have circulated that the courtyard was a graveyard; probably because it was safer to dig inside of the walls than out at times. And not only violent deaths but others as well; accidents, sickness childbirth, and if there was no time to bury outside the courtyard would hold them. Or the spaces between the shacks? Some estimate that possibly a thousand people all told have died on the grounds of the Alamo-before the famous battle.
It is often claimed that places where violence has occurred retain some element of the events, the ghosts if you will. I would think that if one wanted to learn to believe in ghosts, the Alamo would be the church to attend
