There is an old abandoned building downtown Minneapolis, with glass doors that still open and allow folks waiting for their bus to stand out of the wind and enjoy a good view of oncoming buses. The doors are still open, I believe, since they provide one way out of a parking lot in the neighboring building. Recently I was told by a newly-arrived and well-bundled security figure that I "couldn't wait for the bus here". Well, okay. It's strange that someone has hired a figure to stand in a cold abandoned building in order to tell others not to stand in a cold abandoned building.
Yes, I realize there could be an "incident". Then the owner of the abandoned building would be liable for whatever nonsense takes place within its empty storefront. But doesn't he or her know how damn cold that wind can be? And how are we to be human without incidents?
