Street Terminology...lesson number one

I'm not very "in tune" with street culture so I've decided that as I learn new phrases and lingo I will share them with all those in blog land.

Today's word is pretty self-explainatory... "shooting gallery"

Outreach workers and street kids refer to lots of places as "shooting galleries." These are the places were you will find a lot of people shooting up at once. The streethope shoebox place is located right beside an Anglican church- the church had to remove it's fence because a lot of people were gathering there to shoot up because you couldn't be seen from the street.. it was quite the "shooting gallery."

More street 101 later.. haha
