I visited McPherson Square last week on one of those days when they were expecting a visit from the police--see my story http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Middle-Class-Is-Also-by-Marta-Steele-120201-641.html.

        

No police. Hardly anyone there. I described the signs. Here are photos of them plus one of a homeless man who seemed quite mellowed out right where he was.

           

The last I heard, there was a court decision allowing the Occupiers to remain there.

I couldn't go there today. I have a broken ankle.

      
that homeless guy

There is another holdout at Freedom Plaza. Good luck to them.
