NEEDCOM:

Why did you chose Broadway and Houston?

LANETTE:

Well, it was so long ago ... In fact at that time—you know how you travel—I just wandered down here, and this was the place I land up, and end up at that I felt comfortable. It's like a home away from home. I been through a lot of stuff down here.

NEEDCOM:

So this is now the place that you've lived for a long time.

LANETTE:

For a long time. And almost lost my life here.

NEEDCOM:

How much money do you make on a good day?

LANETTE:

On holidays or something like that? I have people give me, in a good mood, ten dollar bills, one dollar bills, a pocket full of change, tokens, they just give it up. They hand it in, and throw it in my cup. There's some good people out here.
