Fair Park church that houses homeless faces new safety citations By: McGraw, Dan X. Dallas Morning News

            The article link above is about how a church for the homeless is being overcrowded with too many homeless people in it and had a fire code violation.  There past violations have still been uncorrected.  The officials are faced with a big problem that has them in a stump about what to do because even though the church has fixed some violations, there are still too many left undone and they have too many homeless people staying there.  That’s why they are faced with either kicking them out back on the streets or let them stay there and have safety problems.

            I sure know I wouldn’t want to be homeless and then finding a shelter after living through crap of sleeping under a tree or on a park bench.  It is cruel to say you are willing to take the needy in, but then kick them out. They could just keep a maximum occupancy for the homeless coming in.

  I personally think they should let them stay even if there is too many. One alternative too is too send the homeless to different shelters where there is room for the needy. The homeless are trying their very best to keep it, but it might get shut down because of fire hazards.  The article never said whether or not it was closed.  I still hope it stayed open because if it closed then the homeless won’t have a place to call somewhat home anymore.

the Mario Bros.

The Mario bros. have become an international icon.  The characters and the game originated in Japan but then soon released in the United States.  The Mario Bros. franchise started out as just a game of two brothers fighting creatures in sewers.  Later the Bros. came out with another game that involves a Princess getting kidnapped by king Bowser.  The brothers were called to help save the princess.  The game was called “Super Mario Bros.” there are several worlds that Mario and Luigi have to make through and defeat the boss at the castle in each world.  The company continued with the story for two more games with the same concept, just a few new twists in each. 

 

After the games really became popular, the company decided to make a cartoon of the two brothers and the hardship they face against Bowser.  They even had a film released with the same title as the games series. The film tells the story of the Mario brothers, Mario and Luigi, as they were told in the game.  Where the king is a dictator and Mario and Luigi must rescue Princess Daisy and stop the king from attempting to merge the dimensions of their world and the human world, so that he could become a dictator of both worlds.

The Mario brothers have been around for as long as I have lived and I do not see them wiping off the face of the earth anytime soon.  Seeing as how they are still continuing with production of different Mario Bros. collections from games, clothes, T.V. etc.
