Demetric Newberry, 33, left, and Mike Palmer, 28, hang out under the Queen City Bridge, a space where homeless people often gather.
The past few days have broken a cold, wet spell in the region, but it’s only small relief for many of Hall County’s homeless. Demetric Newberry will still wake up under the Queen City bridge and trudge to work at a nearby chicken plant. Mike Palmer will still walk the streets wondering what job prospects await a 20-something fresh out of jail.
