  Years ago my wife and I used to spend an hour every Saturday morning between 8-9 at the street corner work? At 9AM we would proceed to the group for the pep talk and then put in at LEAST another two hours in service? We were not the only ones in the street corner work. If you traveled 10 or more blocks up and down the area we were in a fellow group of "dubs" were on the streets at almost every corner.

  I don't see that anymore. I hear about dubs in the mall and on the university campus but is street corner work dead?? I hope so but how is it doing where you live??

  There's a jw who stands on a street corner with watchtowers most Saturday mornings about 300 yards from where we live. We see him most Saturdays when we walk the dog. He shuns us, of course.

  IF THEY ARE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES, SHOULD A GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT LOOK INTO PRESERVATION MEASURES FOR THIS ENDANGERED SPECIES?

  Around here there aren't a lot of street corners to be worked. Instead what happens is that they sit in their cars in the parking lots of either grocery stores or strip malls and when they see someone coming Out of the store one will get out and try to place some mags with them.

  They are careful not to get people going in, because if the person goes in and tells someone working their more then likely they'll be asked to leave.Which I've seen happen.

  Street corner work is alive and well on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood between 2am and 6am.

  Opps, wrong street corner work. Never mind.
