Midland, located about 130 miles north of Detroit, Michigan, is known for its beautiful landscapes and friendly community. However, amidst the picturesque scenery, there is a dark reality that plagues much of the United States - homelessness.
Recently, a surprising discovery was made in Midland that shed light on this pressing issue. While working on a construction site, builders noticed an extension cord leading into a five-foot-wide sign on top of a Family Fare store. Curiosity led them to investigate further, and to their amazement, they found a woman living inside the sign.
The woman had set up a home office with a computer, desk, and even a coffee maker. The police were called, and Officer Brennon Warren shared his thoughts on the strange situation, stating, "It's a story that makes you scratch your head, just somebody living up in a sign." He described the woman's living space, saying, "There was some flooring that was laid down. A mini desk, her clothing, a Keurig coffee maker. [There was also] a printer and a computer - things you'd have in your home."
One can only imagine the challenges this woman must have faced to create and maintain this makeshift home. Officer Warren expressed his confusion, saying, "I honestly don't know how she was getting up there. She didn't indicate [how] either." The officers provided her with information on available resources and services in the area, and she apologized and left. It is unknown where she went after vacating the premises.
News of this unusual discovery quickly spread, and it was featured in several trending stories. In a time where shocking and often disturbing news dominates the media, this story stood out for its uniqueness. It also shed light on the ongoing issue of homelessness in the United States. This woman's situation serves as a reminder that many individuals and families struggle to find suitable and affordable housing.
The woman reportedly told officers that she had been living inside the sign while working at a different location. She did not face any charges and has since left the premises. The parent company of Family Fare, SpartanNash, issued a statement commending their employees for treating the woman with compassion and professionalism. They also acknowledged the need for communities to come together to address the widespread issue of homelessness.
Midland, a quaint town with friendly faces, is a stark contrast to the bustling city of Detroit, known for its high rate of homelessness. The distance between the two cities may only be 130 miles, but the issue of homelessness is a nationwide problem that requires urgent attention and collaborative efforts to find a solution.
